There is definitely something wrong with the supply chain and this reliance on China for everything is a mistake.
Today it's aircon tomorrow who knows what?
That shower looks like the one I had in another French city last year. The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
Yep it's something I've seen in several places...cheap and nasty. They treat customers with contempt.
I won't be staying anywhere associated with this company.
They own so many places all under different brands to give customers the illusion of choice but they are all equipped with the same crap fittings.
They can't hide behind brands when the fittings are the same.
They obviously buy in bulk.
They think the public are stupid.
Vote with our wallet and support companies with some ethics...if you can find one?
Vote with our wallets indeed. The French Hotel was in Nancy, a nice town but like many places, has an ugly industrial bit an we were travelling back from a kayak holiday in Slovenia. To be fair the booking was ad-hoc but what we ended up with was a bit rough, my friend and I had single rooms and were both glad to see the morning and to hit the road again.
Standards have definitely fallen as the centralisation of control of these places has accelerated.
Kayak and all of this arbitrage services have actually increased prices.
They buy up all the accommodation and then raise the price.
Buying directly is often cheaper but it's difficult to find direct contact numbers sometimes which cause frictional aspects.
