I am not one for complaining and have always been a very understanding customer, however, our most recent experience is something I feel needs to be rectified or at least expressed for improvement purposes. After attempting to contact Mont Clare Boutique Apartments in regards to a possible cancellation, we were told that due to booking through a third-party, we would need to directly contact them and seek cancellation refunding (a US number). After doing so, the third-party business was extremely understanding of our unforeseen personal medical situation BUT informed us it was actually Mont Clare Boutique Apartments that had the overarching decision and they would email a cancellation request on our behalf. I then followed up and rang Mont Clare again and explained the situation, to which I was told “Ok not a problem.” But upon receiving the email request, Mont Clare staff proceeded to decline our cancellation. With not being able to afford to lose out on a large chunk of money, we proceeded with our stay. Travelling 3.5 hours from the country, we made sure to arrive within the stated Reception hours of “Monday - Thursday 9.00am - 7:00pm, Friday 9.00am - 6am (Sat Morning), Saturday 9:00am to 6am Sunday Morning and Sunday and Public Holidays 9.00 am - 2.30pm” as stated on BOTH their website AND their front door.

Our instruction paperwork also stated that the pool was out of order and we would need to use the one across the road at the Aldernay and upon using the Gym, every piece of equipment was broken except for the treadmill (two things I booked this accommodation for and that I believe should have been refunded or rectified more professionally). The next day we discovered the television remote volume buttons weren’t working, so I rang Reception, at which point I was told “Well if the channels work its not the remote, can’t you just use the buttons on the TV instead of the remote?”. Other issues we found that we did not contact Reception about were stained and ripped carpets and couches, broken cupboards in the kitchen and bathroom, stove and oven top settings worn out so I didn’t know which setting was which when trying to use it, faulty settings on the washing machine, holes in the walls where power points are located behind the beds, a dirty sock under the bed, the horrid stench of cigarettes and ********* upon every exit of our room and springs visibly sticking out of the bed. Our major issue however was the broken clothes dryer. We booked this accommodation g
