19 Sep 2022 by The Melrose Hotel at the Beach
Dear Robert, Thank you for your valued review. We regard all feedback as gifts. You booked a room with a shared bathroom and as you say, you were not happy and left, so you did not stay here. You asked for a refund which we gave you immediately even though we were not obliged to do so. We want our guests to be happy. As you say - and you are right, the hotel is in need of improvement. We bought it last year for its exceptional location right at the beach and we have planned extensive refurbishment which will take some time. This will include making all rooms en-suite. We started this year with essential but largely unseen alterations and repairs to plumbing, drainage, ground floor ceilings, floors, the roof, replacing all the flat roofs including a section over the room you booked, which is why there is a repair to the ceiling there.You also rightly complained about a guest in the adjacent room who it seemed and later admitted was smoking weed in his room, the smell of which permeated the hallway. This is not only against our no smoking policy but against the law. You mentioned the crack in the door which was damaged by a previous guest so the door will need to be replaced and the repair to the ceiling which was needed as a result of a roof leak remedied in the aforementioned roof repairs we have done. When that room is fully refurbished and made into an en-suite, the whole ceiling will be refinished. You also say the room was dirty but our cleaning is thorough and we work hard to make our guests feel welcome and comfortable.
