Stayed here last week, booking their best room at the last minute as we had to attend a funeral in the city. The funeral and memorial service ended, so we slowly made our way to the hotel, arriving between 1410 and 1415, and asked to check-in. The young guy at reception informed us that, as the official check-in time was 1500, we would have to pay £10 for an 'early check in'. We stay in hotels of various budgets all over the world on a frequent basis, and have never had this situation before. Usually, a hotel reception would simply call Housekeeping or check their systems to ascertain which rooms were ready to be occupied, and offer us one of those. If they are nice, a hotel reception may even call Housekeeping and ask if it were possible to prioritise the cleaning of a specific room. However, the staff here showed no decency and were absolutely determined to squeeze every last penny out of us, even though they were made of our circumstances- we were still dressed in funeral attire and had to get changed on a very hot, humid day....so the hotel ended up getting the £10 they were so desperate for. Vile, disgusting behaviour.
