Aberdeen (Westhill)

No hay ventiladores en recepción. La habitación estaba demasiado calurosa. No pudimos dormir en ninguna de las dos noches. El desayuno tenía muy pocas opciones.

Este fue el desayuno más pobre que hemos tenido en un Premier Inn. La comida estaba fría, parecía que llevaba allí mucho tiempo. Tuvimos que mencionar que no había comida en algunas bandejas. Había algunos platos sucios apilados junto a los limpios. El personal de limpieza que limpió el baño procedió a limpiar las mesas con el mismo delantal. Este no es el estándar que se suele encontrar en un Premier Inn.

Reservamos un fin de semana para desconectar de los niños y el hotel estaba lleno de niños correteando por los pasillos. El pasillo estaba sucio y con mal olor. No había nadie en recepción con quien hablar cuando nos fuimos. Nos arruinó el fin de semana.

Como alguien mencionó en una reseña anterior, también me dieron una habitación familiar para cuatro personas, estando yo solo. Esto no es normal. Pagando casi £500 por tres noches, me habría gustado disfrutar del espacio de mi habitación. Cuando pregunté a la chica de recepción, solo me dijo que el hotel estaba lleno y que no se podía hacer nada. El restaurante estaba lleno para el desayuno, así que no pude desayunar... ¡No me gustó nada!

Another few days spent in Aberdeenshire, visiting many local attractions and taking many photos again. The weather was superb again too. Reception team always friendly here. Had my cooked breakfasts in the Shepherd's Rest next door - special shout out to Gloria and Danielle C (don't forget the "C" she said!) Friendly and hospitable gals. I'll no doubt be back next year sometime.

First of all the positives. Being a Premier Inn you know exactly what you are getting with the room and this was up to the usual high standard. The bed was comfy and the shower was excellent. Moving on to the downsides. The room temperature was baking hot, and with no aircon at this hotel I can imagine the temperature would be intolerable in the summer. The window only opens by a very small fraction, and not enough to let very much air in to cool the room. I was unable to sleep with the duvet in that temperature and ended up having to use a couple of towels from the bathroom to sleep under at night. Allowing the windows to be opened further would be very handy as I find I simply cannot sleep in a room that is 23 C. The main issue during my stay was the seagulls, especially the noise they were making in the car park all night. I would say I was lucky if I got around 3 hours sleep. Another big problem I found was my car was completely covered in seagull droppings in the morning, and I had to go to a car wash. There was even a seagull perched on top of my car while I was getting into it and it made little movement when I tried to shoo it away. Hopefully the hotel is able to go something about this, but this is possibly an issue that the hotel need to call in an outside party and the local council to help them deal with. Finally breakfast was what could only be described as chaotic. The poor young guy working there seemed totally rushed off his feet and the place seemed short staffed in the morning. There were no glasses, or plates, or bowls, or milk and it was a bit of a wait for any of these items to be brought over. He was doing his best but he really could have done with an extra pair of hands to help him.
