After booking originally and getting a not welcoming email with untrustworthy policies ive never seen b4 in near 1000 hotels, the boss of vr hotels kindly rang me and asked me to keep the booking and stay. This showed corporate management want a higher standard from their staff. So i stayed and it was a good fize room with balcony fir lake views. Only issue was toilet rolls had not been replaced so very little was on 1 roll with nothon other and no replacement rolls in the bathroom.
