Amberton Hotel, Klaipeda

A beautiful and stylish hotel, but other than that this place has very little going for it. In all fairness I did only spend a single night in the hotel, but on the other hand I did get to acquaint myself with no less than three rooms. This was due to the fact that the drains were clogged in the first two rooms I was given. On his third attempt, the desk clerk finally managed to find me a room with a functioning bathroom. This bathroom did however for some reason have a window connecting the bedroom and bathroom, which was kind of a cool interior detail but also slightly inappropriate.

 

The standard of the hotel was high, but then again so was the price. At such rates, one should expect to find some service included, and when a guest comes to the reception with shampoo in his hair asking to change rooms for the second time because of clogged drains – the clerk should wipe the “why-are-you-making-a-fuzz-about-this-trifle-look” off his face. Such attitudes are acceptable in hotels charging 100 Litas pr. night, but not in hotels with western prices. The food and rooms were ok, but the service was lousy. For some reason the staff seemed to view visitors as more of a disturbing element.

Rated: Rip off!

 

I should have squatted on this nearby boat instead.
At least the the drains would not have been a problem.
