Quest Newcastle

Quest Newcastle

8/10 Good
"Being on my own + recently having mobility issues in the last few years, ease of accessibility is a priority & I notice when people help. I've given alot of my business to this group so was most disappointed to be discriminated against when either needing more time or some assistance in rebooking + being inbetween rooms + having to move out then move back in on my own proved impossible to do within to their allocated times + as a result Ive been asked not to book again. Realising people aren't very nice when their job doesn't require them to be."
