Iâm not saying my stay at this hotel was chaotic, but Iâm fairly sure I experienced a full escape room challenge before I even got inside.
On arrival, I wasnât able to check in and was left standing outside for a solid 15 minutes, which really gave me time to reflect on my life choicesâand the weather. Eventually, I made it in, only to discover that the bedroom door latch didnât actually lock. No problem though, because the solution involved the staff member calling her husband, who arrived armed with a drill and screwdriver like some sort of emergency DIY superhero. Nothing says ârelaxing stayâ quite like impromptu home repairs.
The excitement didnât stop there. The shower flooded, turning the bathroom into a paddling pool (sadly, no inflatable included). The bedside lamp wasnât charged either, so mood lighting was replaced with âsit in the dark and think about things.â
And finally, breakfast. Youâre asked to pre-order using a formâvery organised in theoryâexcept for the minor detail that no pen is provided. I can only assume interpretive dance is an acceptable alternative.
All in all, it was less âhotel stayâ and more âunexpected adventure weekend.â Would I return? Only if I needed material for a comedy routine.
