The water had been disconnected prior to our arrival and we only discovered the below when my husband looked under the sink.

I called the Duty Manager who argued there was nothing wrong with the room. I had to get Hyatt Consumer Affairs to intervene.

Never experienced anything like it in all of my years travelling. First hand accounts are ‘credible.’ I have absolutely stayed multiple times at this property, always in suites.

We checked out and moved to the GSY where Sholto’s team had the suite ready in 20 mins and a bottle of Vueve because he understood how appalling this experience was.

The GSY outshines the Churchill in every way, except the suites are smaller. The service is far more polished, F&B far superior, and the product newer and more modern.

All hotel chains offer elites late checkouts while also honouring standard check in times. This isn’t unique to one property.

If you’re willing to pay 500GBP for a mediocre hotel with a zoo like breakfast, go for it. I choose to spend more and moved my stays to the Rosewood. I will never return to the Churchill.

I’ll never understand posters who dismiss real experiences at a property and defend terrible behaviour because it doesn’t fit their view.
Sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good experience and the hotel didn’t do a good job trying to address it.

I’ve enjoyed your posts and reviews and found them helpful in the past. However since you travel about I’m sure you know that things can happen. So casting a wide net on just one or two incidents, does not make a trend. Of course how the hotel (or airline) responds when such things happen is another thing. And sorry to hear that the hotel didn’t provide proper recourse.

Also, if GSY or the Rosewood are charging the same amount as the Churchill, then you may have a point. Otherwise, I think you are comparing Apples and Oranges.

Last but not least, your last comment is interesting. You feel slighted because you feel some people dismissed the incident that happened during one of your stays. Yet you feel it is OK to dismiss the positive/enjoyable experiences that others have had
