One star for facilities

“After checking in, I had a look around and found they had their own cinema, arcade, pub, swimming pool and gym - that’s a star!”

Room

“My room looked pretty average. The bed was clean, I had a lovely view and also leftover skids in the toilet. That’s a star!

“I also found a sign saying it’s a non-smoking room. But do they even have smoking rooms in hotels anymore?”
