overpriced foodsmall room

honestly, the food was not great. i ordered a steak medium rare, i received it well done. for £30 i expect more. drinks were expensive too. i paid £10.60 for 2 drinks one night, then £12.80 the next night for the same drinks. the room size was small. i booked a large double with a view for £174. i got a small room with hardly any view. definitely not worth £174. my usual hotel is £104 and twice the size.
