As I wrote yesterday, me and Andrea went down to Liverpool and booked into a nearby hotel for the night. It was very disappointing. I was sure I’d picked a nice small country hotel, but it turned out to be far larger than I expected. Firstly the woman at reception seemed to have difficulty with the fact that I’d pre-paid on lastminute and wanted to invoice me for it, and then when we were given a room it turned out to be in the middle of a corridor right beside an internal door which people kept going through all night long. Then there was the party/wedding reception/whatever that was going on during our stay. Not only did this mean that we couldn’t get a table in the hotel restaurant (instead having to settle for one in the fitness centre next door, which was actually better than it sounds) but then they played disco music until 2am. Before of course they all came streaming through that door some more. The breakfast the next morning wasn’t anything special either, and I felt pretty sick from the meal the night before anyway. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
For the record, it was the four star Thornton Hall Classic Hotel on The Wirral, in Thornton Hough, Chester.
