The Fairview Boutique Hotel

Nice hotel, nice room.

Only problem I had was with the man at reception desk who I am assuming is either the owner or the manager. Quite a loud voice, a little bit sarcastic, and not very discreet. Seemed he could not retrieve my booking details so I needed to spell it all out for him again at the check in desk. Asked me at least three times if anyone was staying with me. Overheard by other guests in the lobby which was quite annoying... He then tried to upsell me the deluxe room and the additional breakfast. If I wanted either of these options I would have booked them originally so I found this to be quite cheeky as well. Every time I left the hotel for a cigarette or for a walk he could not let me pass the desk without engaging me in some form of conversation or asking me once again if I was staying with anyone, again in a very loud and in-your-face manner where others around could hear. The expection when you book a hotel anywhere in the world is that you can be faceless, anonymous and have a nice swift check in where you then fade into the background and are not pressed with more questions or chit-chat by an overbearing owner/manager/reception clerk. If I wanted to make chit-chat with strangers on the day I would have booked a hostel or a B&B instead. An annoying experience and won't be returning for that reason.
