Such a disappointing experience
1. Inaccurate information of wifi name and password on the guest sheet and binder—2 incorrect wifi names that no longer exist
2. Unknowledgeable staff—had no idea what their own wifi name and password were
3. Irresponsible manager—asked me to check if the light was on the wifi router which is placed in the hallway, instead of checking up on it herself or sending someone to do it. I went and checked it anyways and told her the light was on. Again, no attempt was made to come to the site and check what was wrong. Instead, she said there was nothing she could do but calling an engineer who can come in the next morning since it was after 5pm (it was just after 5pm, meaning no internet service in my room for at least 15hrs). And she said there won’t be any compensation because wifi is an “outside provider” and the hotel is not responsible for it.
4. Unsanitary room—hair in the bath tub, a brown stain on the towel, blood on the wall, and a disgustingly dirty kettle + a HUGE spider under the sheet.
5. No reception in the building—Factor’s Inn & Cottage is operated by another hotel. You need to make a 15min round trip (or more if you have luggages or backpacks to carry) to the Inverlochy Castle Hotel which is a 5-star, fancy place. Probably another reason why staff is unknowledgeable and the manager is so rude, busy taking care of her own “luxury hotel” guests.
6. You need go to this hotel to check-in and pick up a room key yourself, so please be aware if you are a backpacker!
