A Stay of Sorts
non existent bar rowdy guests
The location was pretty close to the attractions, I suppose.
The non-existent bar facilities were quite a letdown. It appears they had no beer, a tragedy. Rowdy guests partied all night in the adjacent room, so I got no sleep at all. I was informed parking was available, yet it was just restricted street parking, forcing me to pay £18 for a parking lot.
