small room expensive drinks
the room i got was quite small (i suspect they keep the good ones for the repeat offenders). it had a double bed and just enough space around it to swing a cat, if you were so inclined (i wasn't). opening the window was necessary because of the heat, but this meant i had a front-row seat to the taxi rank dramas and war memorial karaoke sessions all night. breakfast included fresh stuff, but the stake at £38 seemed a bit steep, and drinks weren't cheap either, hitting £18 for two.
