Not a 4 star 3star at most, poor, not upto standar
Corridors smelled of damp, breakfast poor only lukewarm, no variation available on set breakfast, booking was eventful due to having more than 2 dogs hotel would not let customer cancel booking fir apartments instead of hotel room, then unaware of three dogs when they agreed to it to save cancel booking, room very dated and cleaned to an average standard, not 4 star standard, hairs found on bedding and in bath on arrival , evening meal of haddock and chips only warm again, chips looked 2 days hold ( tripled cooked advertised probably cooked once each day until needed, both me and my partner had sickness and diarrhoea after this meal , desert was rubbery obviously been microwaved to cause sponge to become rubbery, health complex dirty , tiles falling off walls, some facilities not working showers being one off them , was tried to be charged for other people adding their meals and drinks to our room tab ( no security checks at complex when adding to a room number) power cut on last night, advised security lighting only no offer of any lighting for room, reception staff un helpful, waiters and staff not dressed correctly and looked scruffy, workmen working on lights during breakfast causing dust to fall on our food ( didn’t say anything in case they charged us extra for the dust) , breakfast menu very basic unless prepared to pay extra £8 supplements on top of £15 already paid, disappointing trip at a McDonald’s resort as we have stayed at other resorts and other brands

After driving 7 hours for my birthday weekend I could not have envisaged the catalogue of incompetence I was about to experience. Reception couldn’t find my booking despite me showing them the booking number on my phone. The girl on reception handed the hotel phone at me and told me to deal with it. I couldn’t use my own phone as the hotel wi-if was not working. Finally they gave me a room. When we got there the door was ajar and all the furniture had been pushed to the middle of the room. I went back to reception where I was told by a it was being decorated. Tried sending me to another room that was also being decorated, before putting us into a disabled room with the heating off. The temperature outside was 3 degrees. We had to go downstairs to warm up. We finally got to our room after 9pm when the room was a little warmer. When I asked to speak to a Manager I was informed he went home at 3pm but he’d contact me next day. No contact was made. Throughout this ordeal I was treated like this was my fault. There were no apologies and no attempts to compensate us. Their main focus on checking out was making sure they had my Expedia booking details so they could get their money. A beautiful hotel which should have offered an amazing experience. The hotel was not cheap but the service from the reception and management was not befitting such a lovely place. I hope all Macdonald hotels aren’t run the same. On a positive note, the bar and restaurant staff were first class.
