Awful

Liked: Staff were friendly until the evening
Disliked: Room was dirty very hot window would only open 6 inches I understand child locks and safety but we are 2 adults.Got back fom concert 1055 bought 2 drinks asked what time bar closed told 5 mins I said no for residents she very rudely said 5 minutes we don't have a licence . Think you should advertise this as last drink on hottest day of the year 1055 unacceptable. Breakfast was nice but so disappointed by then couldn't wait to leave £ 164 for one night £60 and I would of felt cheated .
