pool fee breakfast price

the pool area required a fee of £10 per guest per visit. this POOL usage cost was unexpected. also , the breakfast was £12 if booked the night before, but £16.50 if decided on the morning. the BREAKFAST price difference felt unfair.

faulty air conditioning worse night sleep

Check in went smooth. The room was spacious and had everything I needed.

The air conditioning unit wasn't working right in my room. They put a fan in, but it gave little air out. I had the worse night sleep because it was so hot in there.
