    Of course you could also have done something about it ... called the police to report it.

    I did actually ask the hotel if they could report it to the police due to not having a working phone with me (left my charger at home).
    They obviously didn't though.

    TA and similar sites have plenty 'poor' reviews from rival hotels. sad really. twitter / FB may get more unbiased, up to date views..
    Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..

    You don't know if they did or not.

    However I cannot see a police officer coming out to someone smoking weed in a room. They usually have more pressing things to attend to.

    Due to the attitude of the staff on the night and afterwards, I'd be amazed if they did actually call the police.

    I would have complained about the fact you didn't have a phone in your room. That's shocking as every hotel should have one in case of emergencies.

    Really? I think the Maldron was the only hotel I've stayed in that actually had a phone in the room. Only seemed to connect to reception though?

    Every hotel I've ever stayed in (and there's been a fair few) has had a phone in the room. Very few have been internal-hotel-numbers-only ... the vast majority have allowed for external calls (albeit at a huge mark-up for hotel profit).
