"Attended The Lowry for a function. The staff at reception were attentive and helped with luggage which is always appreciated. Rooms were gorgeous, well cleaned and left me feeling sad about the other 'nice ' hotels I 'd stayed in before. The staff during the function were very good at keeping us topped up on our drinks and the food served was of a good quality. The bed was comfy, I 'd have preferred former pillows but that 's just a personal preference and had I been inclined to ask I have no doubt they would have been available. Toiletries you 've forgotten are available on request from reception but the products provided in the room were of a high quality. I felt my shower was great but my colleague didn 't appreciate the water pressure provided by the very large waterfall head. A nice touch was some Easter Eggs in the room for our stay over the Easter weekend. Breakfast was buffet style with some other special items made to order, I 'd suggest checking this menu out but the basics I had for breakfast were very tasty and of high quality. Every member of staff I dealt with over the duration of the stay were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. As this was a work related trip the room wasn 't paid for by me, but the prices are high and maybe wouldn 't be my first choice due to budget for a weekend away, but for special occasions or a good mid week deal I would look here before other high end city locations."

"We decided to go for dinner at pizza express Oxted this evening but unsure of what time. I checked the website to see what time they closed and it said 22:30. I called the restaurant to check what was the latest time to place an order for food and they told me 22:15. They said there was no need to book a table as they weren’t busy. We arrived at 21:30 to be greeted by an empty restaurant and all staff staring at us like they’d seen a ghost! A male member of staff then asked “takeaway?” I said “no, I called 20 minutes ago to ask when last orders were and was told 22:15, it is only 21:30” the staff members then all looked at each other shocked and one said “but we’ve cleaned the kitchen!” They spoke amongst themselves for a short time while we stood waiting and then we were told it was fine and to take a seat and they’d get us some food. Obviously this is extremely unwelcoming. I called ahead of time to ensure there was space for us and that we were there in plenty of time to order food so we didn’t get there at the last minute and make everyone wait. We then placed our order quickly. Whilst we were eating our starter, a lady, who Ivan only assume was the manager as she was not wearing uniform, was leant on the counter staring at us while spinning her keys in her hands, she then started wandering around. It was the most unwelcoming experience I have ever had in a restaurant. Perhaps this would have been acceptable if we had arrived 1 minute before they had stopped serving food, however, we checked the time and arrived 45 minutes before they stopped taking orders. This was most unwelcoming, had I not been so tired I would have left and gone elsewhere, but I just wanted to eat dinner and go home. The food was delicious, no problems there. Just the unprofessional welcome of all staff members especially the manager who stood and stared at us while we ate our food which made us feel slightly uncomfortable."
