Upon entering our room we found a slug on the bed. We immediately went to reception and asked to change rooms. The windows were shut so we couldn't be certain that this was the only slug/wildlife, nor how long it had been in there. The receptionist informed us that there were no other rooms available and the best she could do would be to change the sheets. We felt this was not enough given our concerns but reluctantly accepted that this would be our only option vs finding a different hotel late at night. She changed the sheets but this didn't stop us feeling dirty and like we might find other slugs and bugs everywhere we looked. We were very uncomfortable. We really would've preferred a different room. As a result, we barely slept. The website advertises 'Good Night Guarantee', but this is a lie. We reported our issue, requested a resolution and were provided with an attempt at resolution, but not anything that actually helped us feel comfortable. So, as per the T&Cs of the 'Good Night Guarantee', we requested a refund for the stay because we had a terrible nights sleep and couldn't wait to leave. We were told by customer services that they were aware of the slug and in their eyes they did rectify the situation for us. And that we weren't eligible for the refund because we didn't inform receptionist we were having trouble sleeping. In what world is it reasonable for us to struggle to sleep and continuously go down to reception to moan at the receptionist when she's already informed us that there are no other rooms? I couldn't believe they would avoid their own policy in this way. We aren't troublesome people and don't enjoy moaning at those working in customer service roles just for the sake of it. Ultimately, we did not receive value for money, and we should have been eligible for the 'Good Night Guarantee' but have instead found ourselves feeling taken for fools.
