"The hotel rooms seem hacked together and retrofitted, the floor doesn’t meet correctly in places, the blinds don’t cover the windows and were stained, the door was paper thin. The bathroom had an awkward glass window with the room, only having blinds that were mostly transparent, removing any privacy you may have wanted The breakfast was laughably a carton of milk and juice, a cereal bar and a sachet for coffee. The single member of staff seemingly on duty made us a toastie, so at least...
