The hotel and room we stayed in overall was good, but on the 2 days we were there the bar staff and lady who booked us in at reception appeared miserable and lacked any personality. They all looked fed up as if they didn’t want to be there. Everything they did appeared to be an effort. Nobody was willing to have a friendly chat and pass the time of day, even though they were pretty quiet. The breakfast was nice, but for coffee they only had whole milk available which I really dislike. When I kindly enquired if they had skimmed or semi skimmed at all. the lady said no and just walked off. In my opinion, the staff working there, seriously do need to improve on their personality and interaction with guests. I appreciate that their job can be demanding at times but a little smile and a general chat would make such a difference to guests and make them feel happier staying there. We paid a lot of money to stay there, and I believe that a friendly face and a smile by staff would make the experience of staying at Mayfield so much better.
