Cornish "hotel"

It isn't very nice to write about the shortcomings of a "hotel" that you have just suffered, but it is a good thing to describe what you didn't like so that others may have their say.

We asked for a rwin room, we were given one with three beds, a double and a single bed. Probably we should have quieried the point.When one is a bit tired of travelling and only too pleased to have arrived somewhere one lets it go.

The miniscule bathroom had a door that squeqked, a bit of 3 in 1 would have helped. Space for putting things down were 1, the loo lid
2, a tooth brush holder for 6 toothbrushes

The first night we had a towel for the floor, this disappeared for the second night and we had to do without.

The loo was a bad flusher.

To get to the shower one had to step into the bath. There were no hand grips, so it was a serious balancing act and a dangerous one. To get out one used the door handle as a grip place. I WAS really scared at the prospect of a fall.

We had a snack whilst Herbert had his lunch on th4 first day. Baps with too much salad.

We ate there in the evening, a non descript meal with masses of chips!

That night the locals carroused until 11 pm or so all outside our window. Eventually we slept.

Breakfast was funny, fruit juice, corn flakes and poached egg. Coffee, no toast.

We took Herbert out to lunch so were spared of the Hotel menu,(unchanging). We had a snack yesterday, it was difficult to persuade them to make a sandwich, but they did at last, packing it with salad again.

The wifi worked on ubuntu 9 at first, and then refused. The Asus never worked on the wifi. By installing Mandriva from a Live disk the wifi worked on the Dell.

The hotel staff tried to help but we had trouble getting an address.

I met a NZ family, Peter Davenport and family from Upper Hutt. He had his own business there and was going home on Sunday with Singapore Airlines. His daughter stays in London (Jean).
