I made an on-line booking as I always do and paid for it for 2 nights.
When I went to check in i was told as I didn't have any photo ID on me (no licence), my booking had to be cancelled and refunded back on my credit card. Mind you I have stayed here approximately 6+ times prior with no photo ID but plenty of other ID + credit cards & where I live in Sydneys Northern Beaches. I was absolutely disgusted with the way I was treated by a staff member who is younger than my daughter.
Don't judge a book by its cover & its your loss not mine.
Mind you I stay at another local hotel all the time and never ever get asked for ID as they no me and I no one of the part owners who also part owns the Bayview.
I have always left the room in excellent condition as I do at the other hotel. Its is apalling that I was treated like this by a bar staff.
Next time I have a few days off work I will always stay at the other hotel as I'm a valued client of there's.
NOT HAPPY
