This is a few months late but nethertheless... this could have been a nice stay but was left with a sour taste from the moment of check in. Our friend booked us as a group & we requested a twin. When my mother & I walked in the room, there was 1 king bed & a sofa which had extra linen & towels on it - so they clearly expected 2 people to sleep in there & 1 on the sofa. I pulled out the sofa bed & it was the most hideous bed ever, like sleeping on metal. After having come off a trip where I hadnt slept for 2 days & night, I needed a good sleep. So I went to reception, asking nicely if there were any twin rooms available, & only checking in case there were as we hadn't touched the room so could easily move. If not I'd just share the king bed with my mother. The receptionist who I think was the duty manager was HORRIBLE. She treated me like a piece of dirt, like I was the most annoying person ever. Too bad she says, that is what you booked. Yes i got that, i was only asking if there were rooms spare. As she continued to patronize me, I then started to get angry myself. I used to be a duty manager of a large hotel, & her manner was out of line, I would never ever speak to a guest like that, & I'd try my best to help After I said I'd had enough of her & walked off suddenly 'oh we can split the king bed into a twin.' So she was clearly just being lazy. Worst is bay of islands had only just opened up after lockdown! They needed business and its not like they were burnt out! They clearly knew two people were sharing the room, as they'd provided linen for the sofa! So they were lying about not knowing. The room itself was so nice too, so it was a let down! There are 2 things you need to get right in a hotel - a good bed and customer service. They failed miserably, and will never go there again and I warn people off this hotel. Maybe your staff need a payrise cause she clearly hated her job and guests.
