Checked in to the hotel at 21:32 in the evening, hungry as a wolf after a long day working in Kristiansand.|I asked if I could have a little bit to eat, since I hadn´t had too much nutrition during the day. |No, restaurant is closed, the lady in the reception said. But I could walk to a nearby shop.|Now, the restaurant closes at 21:30, so I can see how 2 minutes over the set time is a hard no, if you´ve decided that customers and guests aren´t important.||But in my 25 years of traveling the world, I´ve never had a receptionist refuse three times polite "please, I´m really really hungry". Three times NO.|I could have told her how I hurt my back and damaged an ankle earlier in the day, and how I can´t walk to any damn shop up a steep hill half a mile away. |But I didn´t, because I´m not used to hotel staff being like this.||What usually happens when a guest is really really hungry outside restaurant hours, is that the receptionist, even in the middle of the night, offers to get a few slices of bread and some type of spread for instance. Just something from the fridge, to be nice.||But not at Thon Kristiansund. Hard nope. Doors to the restaurant open, people seated at the tables getting served warm, delicious smelling food, lady in the reception completely uninterested and standoffish, just wanted us to leave the reception area.||Rooms are garish, mattresses hard and pillows the type of synthetic that will make your ear overheat. |And there´s construction work on the facade outside that they didn´t mention on booking, usually starting at 07:00 in the morning, so there´ll be builders walking along the scaffolding looking in all the windows.
