BACKGROUND
*******************
ON ARRIVAL AND CHECK IN
**********************************
As we entered the building though everything changed, the decor inside is VERY dated and tatty, and is a bit of a mish mash of heavy patterns obviously it hasn't been touched since it was built in the seventies. There was also a bit of a musty smell which was all over the hotel in the rooms as well. There were loads of kids running around in reception and we had to queue for a little while before we could check in.
We were checked in by a very pleasant polish man who's english wasn't brilliant but we got by and were told we were on the top floor, we were a bit knackered after the last few days and decieded we would go up to the room and chill out with the champagne and maybe order some room service, we had come straight from the other hotel where all our friends and family were so we just fancied a bit of peace and quiet for a while, also we were flying early in the morning.THE ROOM
***************
We didn't complain, maybe we should have done and possibly would of done any other time but I think we wanted everything to be perfect as it was our wedding and honeymoon and felt that if we complained then it would spoil it, so we gritted our teeth and had showers before going downstairs to check out the many bars and resturaunts that the hotel boasted, since we couldn't bring ourselves to stay in the room. The champagne was awfull too we left most of it!!
THE BARS AND RESTURAUNTSUnfortunately the main lobby bar, which didn't look too bad, was taken over by the wedding party we had seen on the way in and after trying to get served for quite a while we decided to try another one as there were supposed to be a couple to choose from but we ended up in the resturaunt which was just seating a hen party!!

Sounds like a nightmare, but I hope you can both look back on it and laugh anyway!
