underwhelming stay , expected more

car park viewoverpriced bar food
my room overlooked the car park , a very disappointing view for the price i paid. the bar food was tasteless , but also overpriced , which just added insult to injury. the tables in the bar were too low , so eating was uncomfortable , especially after a long day.
