OMG avoid. I had booked for tonight but didn’t even feel comfortable to arrive. The ‘manager’ whatsapped me a code, which he kept deleting and re typing, so I politely requested he emailed me communications instead (it’s more professional). He lost it. He rang me passive aggressively laughing, outraged that no one had ever requested emailing instead of whatsapping. Realising that you get what you pay for, and that the staff have no control over their emotions, no flexibility for attending to a customer’s personal request, I wanted out. Topped off with his weird, emotional and aggressive response, I quickly asked for a refund, not wanting to hear back from this hotel again. In fact, he asked me to cancel my booking so that I wouldn’t arrive and ‘leave a bad review!’ He followed that up with ‘just being straight with you’. I have since received further strange emotional WhatsApp messages about how he ‘is emotional because he is good at (his) job’. I rang again to check on my refund status and spoke to a female colleague who said ‘it benefits them that I cancelled as they have a que of people trying to book’ (probably paying more at a last minute request) - charming! She began to raise her voice which is a no go in customer service. I was then told via email that I was ‘unprofessional’ which is quite funny, as I’m the customer, so profession isn’t really a thing when you’re paying?! .. it does seem they’ve learnt the word from my comments and are throwing the term around loosely. I’ve seen the other reviews showing the states of the beds and I’m glad I didn’t arrive. Weird, aggressive staff and dirty beds, no thank you! I’m now checked into a nearby hotel and have shocked the staff here with my stories of Stockwood! Great start to my trip 🙈 (which by the way, was to de-stress from life!)
