In November 2019, mra1028 said about Old Government House Hotel & Spa
I was so looking forward to my trip to Guernsey and my time at The Old Government House hotel. Sadly, I have to say that my stay at this historic 5-star property fell flat. There was plenty of good, but too many little disappointments to give it a 5-star rating.
The good:
Quick response time to my inquiries before arrival
Beautiful property
Proximity to center of town
Large room
Some friendly staff (particularly one very friendly woman at the front desk)
Great massage treatment in the spa
Delicious dinner at La Brasserie
Hotel packed me a picnic lunch for my day of island exploration
The bad:
During check-in, the woman at reception repeated herself and asked me the same questions multiple times during check-in making me feel like she wasn't even listening.
Curry Room wouldn't seat me for dinner on my first night, even though they had multiple empty tables at 20:30.
My room still wasn't serviced at 15:00.
No one cleared my breakfast dishes, even though I lingered over a book at least 30 minutes after finishing.
No one to greet / seat me for my 15:00 afternoon tea reservation. When I was finally seated, I waited 20 minutes for someone to come and take an order.
No one was clearing towels at the pool, so there was no place to sit when I arrived late in the afternoon.
No pool service offered. I would expect a 5* hotel to have someone taking drink orders at the pool.

In October 2021, bilasukari said about Everest Lounge
We walked in on impulse because the competition across the street weren't offering the Sunday buffet advertised both on their website and in the window (bait and switch).
Three of us ordered three dishes to share. The young waiter was knowledgeable of the many dishes available. All dishes were beautifully presented, each tasting quite different and delicious. The service was impeccable, our water pitcher having been refilled without our even noticing.
At the end of the meal, a little ritual of pouring boiling water onto hand towel florets added the final touch. The environment is clean, fresh and belies the price range with crisp white linens and fresh roses on the table.
Cannot fault in any way – and, believe me, we are not the easiest Indian/Nepalese food diners to please. Can't believe the place wasn't packed with locals.

In October 2021, David B said about 360 Vehicle Leasing
Others said it all seemed too good to be true but added that it really was that good. I'm a Yorkshireman. 360 is in Bury (Lancashire not Manchester) so I was dubious. I took a chance after seeing the other reviews and I'm very happy that I did! (still dubious about Lancs though). Excellent throughout and many thanks to all at 360.
What do Yorkies like best? Saving brass and I just did!!!

In July 2015, Jason Marriott said about Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
The Garrick is an absolute treasure to our locality. It is always clean and tickets are always well priced making good value nights out. The staff are always great and were extremely helpful when my mother in law was taken ill during a show. It saddens me really that people are leaving negative reviews on the basis of a show they have seen that they did not enjoy, you wouldn't blame a cinema if you watched a bad film ? Obviously The Garrick don't write and produce every single show that they host so have some common sense please. Support your local theatre, because we are lucky to have such a good one.

Always a great evenings entertainment. New bar staff should be bit better trained before letting them loose on customers. I asked where door c was and the reply was "I'm sorry, I have no idea.". A little knowledge of the layout of the place would be worthwhile training.....or even if she had asked the guy serving next to her. Still a good evening though. Good variety of shows.
