Advice please - an I being a wimp

I think you might be wrong about staff not having to wear masks. My son is in the hospitality trade and all his staff behind and in front of house are wearing masks. All the guests are having their temp checked on arrival and won’t be allowed to enter if it’s above recommended level. One way systems apply throughout. Not only would I not stay but I would report this as putting everyone in danger

Just leave the hotel if you are not happy. Doesn't sound very relaxing anyway going to hotels at the moment, masks, arrows on floor , hand sanitizer, social distancing. I'm not going to hotels until we have a vaccine or treatment and everyone behaves normally again. It's bad enough going shopping....soul destroying at the moment.

I'd be a wimp too, staying in a hotel like that.

It sounds unhygienic. Is there any ordinary domestic cleanliness there?

I suppose the hygiene inspectors can't instruct all the managers in Scotland , and some managers are not very competent in some areas of their jobs.

Your chances of contracting COVID-19 in Scotland is remote compared to the rest of the country. Hope you enjoy the rest of your break

That’s reassuring Esspee (or is it EssEnnPee?
My area has had 4 cases per 100,000 over the last 2 weeks- I reckon here is pretty safe too .......

Go with your instincts. I always think that if establishments don't make an effort with what is visible what is the rest like? Sorry that you have had a disappointing trip. Better luck next time.

I believe it is called “hygiene theatre” in the trade where hotels and restaurants put on a public display which may, or may not, reflect the care taken behind the scenes.
It may be the management feel they have exceptionally high standards at all times with no need to put on a public display.

Thanks for all of your comments. We're definitely checking out tomorrow. I'll explain to the manager why we're going. He may actually be following guidelines, but I just need to see that he is to be reassured.
I'm going home, and I'm staying there for the foreseeable future, I've tried a trip outside, and I don't like it!!

I'm horrified. Definitely check out and no you are not a wimp! These recent outbreaks since hospitality has opened up are because people have not followed guidelines.

We've left hotels before, not for the virus, but for other reasons. Felt that it wasn't worth staying even when we had already paid, it would have spoiled the time off, so if you feel that way leave early.

No, you're not over reacting. Check out. Explain why you're leaving. And when you get home, write to ask for a refund.

You could stay and chance it and be fine. But would you worry too much?

Why not ask to have a chat with the manager? Signs don't mean a lot, it is whether they are complying with regulations that counts. Hopefully they can reassure you.

There is no requirement for staff to wear masks on hospitality premises in Scotland.

Chat to management, and only then if you are not happy, attempt to move hotels.

Personally I wouldn’t stay there. What does your husband think? I suspect we’d be off elsewhere in the morning, neither of us would relax. These decisions are horribly individual, talk with your husband, go with your instinct. Wishing you well.
