We had booked to stay at the Castellani Park hotel but learned on the day of our arrival that owing to a fault in their onling booking system they did not have a room available so they had booked us into this hotel instead. Not a good start. The hotel is not one we would have chosen. It is a long way out of town - you couldn't walk it, you have to take the bus and whilst they are frequent they aren't cheap. The room was big - on 2 levels, but very noisy even with all the windows closed as it faced the street. Breakfast was very poor. We arrived about half an hour before breakfast was due to end. The hot food looked as though it had been there since the start of service or had run out and wasn't replaced. Very few individual guests it seemed - there was a coach party eating in a separate room.
Only good thing, an original 1950s dukebox complete with the original records which the waiter put on for us one evening.
