We had two rooms - in one the hot tap was full on fast-running all night, steamy windows! The second had a very hot radiator that couldn't be turned down or off. The energy bills must be enormous - I had to sleep on top of the bed (windows don't open). The bar was also too small and had a huge queue. And they overcharged me
