The blankets on the beds looked very old and tatty. The counterpains were stained.
The towels were tiny, hard and smelt strongly of bleach.

In the evening we chose to have a drink in the bar. The bar was deserted, and there was just a large TV blaring Eastenders. After a time a girl came behind the bar and ignored us for about 5 minutes before going next door. 5 minutes later a man came and served us. He managed to do this without speaking one word to us.
