Still Nice But Standards Have Slipped Since Last Visit

Reviewed By BBMAC81

Standards have definitely slipped from my last visit here in 2014, firstly the positives, your staff continue to be charming helpful and a credit to the hotel, always smiling and willing to go the extra mile to help. The room still large and spacious, comfortable bed and was lucky to have a view of the front/side of the hotel overlooking the roundabout, the downside of this was sadly the room was roasting and even with the heating off and windows open it didn't cool it down, fortunately the staff were able to change the fan heater to cold air and this remedied the issue fairly quickly. Now the negatives housekeeping, I am very disappointed in the standard of housekeeping this time around, fairly small areas were overlooked that should've been addressed prior to entering the room. It all began with the room supposedly having been checked off as being cleaned but when I went upstairs to the room it wasn't though my welcome card was sitting (an indicator that it has been checked off), OK no problem the lovely ladies at reception apologised and gave me another room, upon entering I noticed dog hair all over the carpet, I went outside and politely asked if the housekeeper could give it another hoover she agreed and said there had been a guide dog in the room prior to me, dogs aren't an issue so long as you don't see or smell any remnants of their presence, she never apologised for the inconvenience however is what it is ... I then began noticing other areas of uncleanliness such as window ledges being dusty and marked & grouting under the taps in the shower being discoloured. These are are things that you should expect first and foremost with any hotel and it did put me off the hotel, I did have a nice time and no I never said anything about the ledges or grouting because I didn't want them getting the wrong idea about me. I would come back but this wasn't a great experience and hope Dakota can use this constructive criticism to rectify the issues where their housekeeping is falling a bit flat in places, I did read that they struggle to get 90+ rooms done in the short time before check-in, maybe this is a place to start, your housekeepers truly do try their best, the room wasn't like it was filthy and you can see effort is definitely put in. But they must have to cut corners in order to get such a large amount of rooms complete. You have a beautiful hotel in Dakota Eurocentral, it has a great reputation which I'd hate to see marred by poor hygiene and housekeeping practices.

Enjoyable Weekend Stay

unpleasant

Reviewed By K1441ECandrewc

The hotel and surroundings are very pleasant, wish I could say as much for the staff. On arrival, I checked in and the young girl in the reception seemed to have some issue finding my booking. Possibly this could have been due to work booking this, but I digress, I received no sense of welcome to the Alona. I had a meal there food was quite good, but again the bar staff looked completely miserable. Later in the evening I went to the reception and ask for some tea bags milk and sugar they asked for my room number and said someone would bring them. 48 minutes later they arrived. When I'd gone to bed. In the morning I went down for breakfast, as is was buffet style I got my breakfast on the way to my table I was approached by a girl member of staff with light brown hair in a bun. She asked she said "are you staying at this hotel", I replied yes. " She the said what room number then" I replied I watched him go to the lectern and I observed her running looking down the list. Manners are FREE, NO please or pleasantness in her voice in any way. she looked at me as if I shouldn't be staying at the hotel. In the morning when checking out, so I could get a VAT receipt from my previous meal. This was after asking for a receipt the night before I was told that the till could not print it. I noticed when the girl in reception presented the machine for card payment that the bill was wrong. she said that was for the room also. The company I work for paid for the room the day before, It makes you think if this has happened before. To summarise If I'd paid to stay there myself I'd be, beyond disappointed. Moreover, if I were to stay around that area again that is the last hotel on God's green earth I would ever consider staying in. You're in the hospitality business be hospitable, or at least get staff members that are. That includes all the staff that I had the misfortune of meeting during my stay, reception, bar staff and waitress. A smile regales a smile, and furthermore, it's FREE.

Holiday Inn Express Strathclyde Park M74, JCT.5, an IHG Hotel

One Night Stay

Reviewed By MNic55

Arrived with family and were allocated two rooms. My brother in law upon opening room door was surprised to find an open suitcase on the bed and personal items on the table. Immediately left room, returned to reception to explain situation which appeared to cause a panic with staff. No sensible explanation as to how this could have happened but another room was allocated. Rooms were clean and comfortable for our stay. Breakfast was a shambles. Although the hotel was busy there is no excuse for tables being left uncleared and cleaned for over half an hour, in fact some tables were not cleared in the time we were in the breakfast room. There appeared to be plenty staff but no management directing them. The hotel provides good value for money but it does appear to lack a leader who can manage to the standard required.

Disinterested Rather Rude Staff

Reviewed By Tommy-tt

First the plus points: This is a nice enough hotel & it’s tucked away which makes it a quiet enough place to go. It is looking as if it needs a revamp though - quite dated- but still ok. Food was ok. However, the staff that we dealt with on 2 occasions this year just seemed very grumpy & had no pride in their work in general. Not directly rude to us but not once did I see them actually smile. Never experienced this before in any hotel. The room we stayed in was ok, but not worth the money. The second time we went to check out the venue to maybe book a function in the main room after calling up. The woman tasked with showing us around on the day actually sighed & made us feel as if we were disturbing her. She started the conversation as we walked through to the rooms by saying “Nobody told ME you were coming”. She then pointed into the large room & walked away. Needless to say we’ve held our function elsewhere. Maybe the staff were under stress behind the scenes that we didn’t see? Whatever was going on they really need to somehow change that. I don’t like leaving negative reviews & understand that the hospitality trade has had a rough time recently but this hotel needs an overhaul & staff morale boost.
