Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel & Spa
Poor communication from the hotel - offered late check out, I accepted, they didn’t reply, I followed up, they didn’t reply - they then refused late check out when I enquired in person and came up with various excuses about being busy - not good enough at this price point.
