We picked La Cloche so we could relax in our room and at the spa directly after a long transatlantic journey. We arrived at check-in time (3 pm) and were told our room wasn't ready. Although the reception contacted housekeeping immediately, it took another 2 hours for them to prepare the room. No explanation, no excuse, no effort. We then found out that the spa was closed on Sunday afternoons, which meant we wouldn't be able to use the miserly 45 minutes of pool access included with our rate. Finally, when parking our rental car in the hotel underground parking, the automatic trunk hit the low ceiling and was scratched in a couple places. When we explained the issue at the reception, they had nothing to say. Perhaps because he heard we were talking about cars, the valet decided to add his two cents and rudely explained in barely veiled terms that we were idiots for not seeing the height of the parking ceiling indicated at the entrance and not knowing the height of the open trunk of our rental car. The manager of the hotel didn't feel any more sorry for us, rejected all responsibility, and explained that it would be completely impossible for the hotel to have a padded ceiling in the parking (like it's done in other places). If the staff isn't interested in providing a level of service or even politeness matching the hotel's luxury aspirations, I would suggest they consider seeking work at a truck stop instead. The room was nice and breakfast was good, though.
