Beware, you will be stung

We have stayed in this hotel several times in the past and been satisfied. It is now NOT as advertised. The rooms and common areas have been plundered of decorative items such as pictures, ornaments... more

Molly Beattie, General Manager at Best Western Scores Hotel, responded to this review
I am sorry you did not enjoy your recent stay though puzzled by the criticism of being 'stung' The price was agreed at time of booking made by yourself and although we were unable to provide the free upgrade or free sea view you requested, something we would have tried to accommodate if the hotel had not been busy during your stay, you did know the rate prior to booking. There are also quite a few assumptions made, corporate bookings, understaffed, amenities below Covid 19 regulations, I don't know how you can assess whether our other guests were 'corporate' and without knowing the room occupancy levels cannot judge if an hotel was understaffed , we also follow the Quality Care guidelines strictly in all matters regarding Covid 19 regulations and make no apologies for this, we equip our rooms to their recommendations for the safety of all our guests. All items are still available and we are more than happy to provide them on request. if you had made your request for tissues known we would have been happy to provide them. . Our local suppliers will be disappointed to hear your opinions on their produce which is sourced locally for freshness and quality. However it still remains disappointing to all our team that you did not enjoy your stay. We always want our guests to have the best possible visit and are sorry this did not happen on this occasion. kind regards Molly

Out of date and over priced

The hotel hasn’t aged well, needs fully upgraded and brought back to life. It’s like jumping back into the 1980’s. Heating was on full blast 24/7. Such a shame as it’s prime location for St Andrew’s. ... more
