We stayed at the Hilton, which should be nice, right? Well, it did have very nice pillows and more than 4 channels. But, the shower didn't even work. The tub faucet did, though, so we had to do a makeshift washing thing. Lovely. There was one bottle of water in the room (for a measly 5 pounds or so) and you had to call room service if you wanted ice. There was one soda machine in the whole place, and it didn't have a single thing not sweetened with aspartame. It was 15 pounds to access the internet. The restaurant was staffed with people I couldn't understand, and the food was both mediocre and outrageously expensive. 16 ponds for a dry, flavorless chicken breast? It came with some sort of sauce, and I wasn't sure if it was for the chicken or the french fries. I think it was mayonnaise with lime & cilantro. Ugh. But, we were stuck there. Luckily, Em got to eat free.
But, like I said, lovely pillows. Oh, and blackout curtains, which is a definite plus when the sun rises at 4:30.
The biggest advantage was that it saved us like 4 hours of driving. So, it was worth it.

When I was in Ireland in Dec/Jan, the sun wasn't rising until nearly 8:30 or so, and was going down by 4:30 PM. Amazing how wide the time swings are.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the driving mishaps. We had some, too :-(
Yup. Right now, it goes down around 10, and is back up at about 4:30.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awful hotel experience, ugh.
