Hotel Spaander, BW Signature Collection

I recently had a disappointing experience during my stay at the hotel. I booked four rooms for a total of eight people through hotel.com and had paid for all the accommodations and taxes in advance. However, upon arrival at the hotel, the service was exceptionally slow. I had to wait in line for about 20 minutes just to speak with the receptionist. To my surprise, I was informed that the hotel had only received payment for three of the four rooms. I was asked to pay for the fourth room and the taxes for all rooms. This situation was quite embarrassing, especially as I was with my family and friends on holiday. We ended up having to pay again for one room and the taxes for all rooms. I immediately contacted hotel.com to try to resolve the issue with the hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel.com staff were not successful due to the lack of cooperation from the receptionist. The whole process took about two hours, which is something I have never experienced anywhere else. While the hotel is undergoing refurbishment, it's not fair to comment on its cleanliness overall. However, my bedroom was clean and tidy. The pool and sauna facilities were good, but they are only open from 9 am to 9 pm. Additionally, a hotel staff member needs to physically open the door for guests to enter, which is quite inconvenient.
