NicolaUnited KingdomI’m a very seasoned traveller and this was definately the worst service and worst value for money that I have experience
The room was clean and all fine although it was not serviced during our stay (three nights although should’ve been four). Breakfast was just about average but we thought the toast was very stale and had been made early…
