acceptable stay with issues

inaccurate information high drink prices

the location offered easy access to various attractions.

Breakfast timing was inaccurate. I arrived just after 9:30, i was told breakfast ended at 9:30, despite being informed otherwise at check-in (this was very inconvenient). this inaccurate information led to disruption as i had to find an alternative breakfast option. the bar's drink prices seemed high. A carling cost £4.80, i found the taste weak. (i doubt i will return).
