While I couldn't complain with the room itself. I never found a hotel to differ so much in the customer service of their staff. When checking in on the saturday, we were greeted by a blonde haired girl who welcomed us to the Clare Inn, she was extremely bubbly, friendly and is a credit to the hotel.
However on checking out it was a very different manner. She was a tall woman with short dark hair and glasses, extremely abrupt and rude, when i handed her over my key, she just said thanks, that's fine and made no eye contact whatsoever. We came away thinking how on earth did she get a job at reception, in total contrast to the girl who had checked us in.
