A mixture…

4.0

When we arrived ,after a no show pick up at the airport ,nothing to do with the hotel ,there was a query about charges. For us ,it was already paid.. Bedroom was huge. Bathroom good apart from the mastic stopping the basin from leaking. Breakfast, …why did the man on the egg station, ignore me in favour of 4 black people who were behind me? Am I neurotic? After being ignored and being head of the queue, I think not. Bumped into the owner ,who seemed a nice man.Would I go back? No. Reception were ranging between helpful and really arrogant. Almost old world grandeur, but the place is only 10 years old. Ok, but not my idea of a good hotel.
