It was my boyfriends 30th birthday this weekend and after using MacDonalds hotels a lot over the last few years I decided to book into Savill Court hotel, Egham. The room was booked on their website at £128 for Executive Double for 1 night B&B. We arrived and given the keycard to our room.it was on the 2nd floor and as lift was not working we took the stairs, the room could not have been an executive double as the room was very small indeed (Room 260). The second disappointment was we ordered a bottle of Champagne in room service at around 4pm (not a busy time) and waited 45 minutes for it to arrive, unacceptable length of time I think even if the lift was out, the hotel is not spread out at all like many of your other hotels. On its arrival, after infoming them it was my partners birthday, it came with a birthday message to ME!!!
Our next disappointment came when we headed to the Spa. There was noone on the spa reception, if there had of been they would have realised that the place was freezing!!! We had to rush to change as was so cold, more expected of a public swimming pool than a private spa!!! Inside the swimming pool/sauna area was not any better, the pool was too cold for us, we were looking forward to the jacuzzi but this was out of order, a greatly disappointing session indeed!!!
After a lovely evening at the local pub we retired for the night in an incredibly soft bed which at the time was like a heavenly cloud in the morning we had both rolled into the middle and had very achy backs.
When we went down for breakfast there was noone to receive us for 10 minutes, it was busy but not that busy!! There was a queue of guests waiting for some acknowledgement or to be seated, I decided to try and find a table but when just about to sit down the head of breakfast decided to appear to tell me had to be signed off before seating and we had to return to the entrance and wait another 5 minutes!!
I am very upset all in all with Savill Court, especially as this was my boyfriends birthday present from me. We went to berystede Hotel and Elmers Court and were very very impressed but the high level of accommodation, customer service and efficiency but this experience has put me off using MacDonalds again in the future which is a real shame indeed!!
