Unfortunitely Saturday night had no music provided in the bar

Pros:

We had a lovely stay there but was a bit surprised at the cost of the room in comparison to what others had paid for the same stay.

Cons:

There was a smell of smoke in our hotel room and the bathroom sink was blocked, with residue of some sort left in the sink.
