On
arrival
Sophie
was
polite
and
after
paying
parking,
£30
from
2.45pm
Sunday
to
4.45pm
Monday
we
checked
into
our
mediocre
room.
High
window
wasn’t
quite
the
dock
view
I
was
expecting.
The
glass
sliding
bathroom
combo
wardrobe
door
with
nil
soundproofing,
I
certainly
wasn’t
expecting.
There
was
a
bigger
shock
to
come
when,
the
hose
on
the
shower
hose
blew
up
with
the
water
pressure
and
burst
everywhere.
9am
breakfast
was
beyond
busy,
we
weren’t
asked
by
Alex
our
room
numbers
or
for
any
proof
of
residency.
Tables
were
piled
high
with
uneaten
food
and
dirty
plates,
and
whilst
he
looked
like
he
was
clearing
tables,
we
never
saw
him
pick
up
so
much
as
a
plate,
in
fact
he
didn’t
do
much
more
than
shuffle
about
the
place
at
a
very
slow
pace.
Hence
we
all
piled
plates
onto
one
table,
and
wiped
our
own
table.
This
was
before
any
of
us
realised,
all
the
food
warmers
of
cooked
breakfast
were
empty,
the
juice
machine
was
broken,
and
the
mobile
one
brought
in
as
a
makeshift
measure
meant
we
were
all
sticking
to
the
floor.
One
member
of
staff
(a
tall
gentleman
wearing
spectacles;
apologies
we
didn’t
get
his
name,)
was
running
round
trying
to
help
guests,
and
advise
more
food
was
being
cooked,
(how
can
a
hotel
not
know
how
many
guests
to
expect
for
breakfast?)
A
young
lady
very
kindly
toasted
me
some
gluten
free
bread.
But
other
than
that
all
guests
were
standing
holding
empty
plates
Oliver
style,
wondering
what
would
arrive
first,
Mr
Bumble,
or
some
hot
food.
The
Artful
Dodger
was
of
course
dodging
doing
any
work.
We
left
the
restaurant
at
9.50am,
Alex
still
hadn’t
cleared
a
single
empty
plate
and
all
tables
were
just
piled
high
with
plates
and
the
poor
guy
who
had
been
running
round
constantly
trying
to
get
food
from
the
kitchen
was
not
starting
to
tackle
the
disgusting
tables.
Hence
we
don’t
recommend
paying
for
breakfast!
On
checkout
Alex
was
now
on
front
desk,
he
never
asked
us
if
everything
had
been
OK
and
if
we
had
a
good
stay,
(obviously
there
is
a
need
for
some
staff
training.)
We
told
him
about
the
shower
and
very
painstakingly
he
wrote
it
on
a
scrap
of
paper.
Absolutely
no
apology
for
it,
no
mention
of
a
safe
journey
home
or
a
thank
you
for
booking.
So
if
you
want
a
relaxing
break
away,
my
advise
is
add
cost
of
parking
to
your
stay,
and
decide
if
you
want
to
sit
in
filth
for
breakfast,
clean
your
own
table,
and
be
treat
with
total
disdain.
If
you
are
getting
a
bargain
deal
and
like
a
hard
bed
with
no
frills
and
unhelpful
staff
then
this
is
my
only
reason
to
recommend
this
hotel.
Just
be
aware
parking
is
calculated
in
whole
days,
and
breakfast
is
bun
fight,
as
for
nil
privacy
bathroom,
there
are
no
words.
