Sunset lanes — Local services in Marlborough

The lanes were just oiled and there was oil a foot away from the foul line. On my first throw I ending up crashing very hard hurting my shoulder in a very bad way. I tried to keep bowling but couldn't. We had two frames. I told the guy there was oil and I crashed and had to leave. They wanted to charge me for eating the wood on the floor from the oil. Guess you guys are lucky I am not one of the sue happy people.

I will say the owner contacted me. Asked if we could talk further. I gave him my number and waited for him to call. Never heard from him. He seemed very concerned then it went away. Just a FYI for those wanting to go here. Ya might get hurt to where you won't bowl again. I have a 15 lb jackyl ghost that can't easily be drilled for someone else. I use two finger tips. It's for sale cheap

Letting a 250 dollar ball go for 100 even. New drilling won't be an issue. Ya know getting broken at this place and never going to bowl again. One might think the owner being as concerned as he seemed to be he might have bought my ball off me for 100 and make money on it while I won't ever play again. Thanks for letting me think you were actually old school instead of ignoring the issue new school.

In hindsight I should have sued the living hell out-of this place as spinal complications have come up from my injury at this place with the owner just ignoring me.

You...

Drove 30 minutes to the lanes to bowl the 2 dollar games from 5-9 on friday. I get told it cost over 4 dollars per game despite their website clearly displaying 2 dollars per game (and it still shows this price to date). The bowling alley is at half capacity and still won't honor THEIR OWN PRICES. I drive back home another 30 minutes only to come back two hours later to catch the 12 dollars all you can bowl at 9pm to find out that lanes are reserved online??? I don't understand how this wasn't mentioned to me at all when I has here just two hours earlier, how I don't see any mention online, how it wasn't mentioned last week I was there at the same time as well and bowled no problem.

Honestly, the staff that work here are nice, but this was just flat out rude. First to not honor your own prices online, even when your lanes aren't operating at full capacity, and then to just leave out important info about reserving a lane. I just don't get it. I waste nearly 2 hours of my time driving around and 10 bucks in gas just to go to a place that doesn't honor their own prices and has non-intuitive...

I have been bowling here for many years and up until my last two visits have really enjoyed having drinks from the bar while I bowl. The staff are usually very friendly and helpful, and I find this place clean and enjoyable with decent snacks and food. The facility and most staff would get five stars. The rest of this review which should be one star or none, is reflected below.

During my last two visits, the bartender (same both times) was visibly annoyed at having to stop reading her book to get us drinks. She greeted us with "what do you need?" And rolled her eyes and scowled when asked for anything. She avoids the window and serves smokers first. Additionally, she moves painfully slow and isnt bothered by a crowd waiting. This past visit, I had to leave the line twice to go bowl, as my party was annoyed waiting on me. I still tipped her well because, let's face it, she is clearly miserable for some reason. Please find another bartender so I can continue to spend my money on drinks while bowling, preferably one who isn't visibly bothered by the work or any human...
