Our plans changed so we had to make 2 separate 1-night reservations. We asked when checking in for the first night if we could pay for both nights but they couldn’t understand how to do that so we had to pay for the 2nd night when we checked out. Seemed odd they couldn’t accommodate us paying for both bookings at once. They did accommodate us staying on. The same room both nights.

Nice hotel, noisy at night. Strange experience at check in.. checked in and then went out. Came back and was able to access my room. Reception had put me in the wrong room and then removed my stuff whilst I was out. Had to then go to reception to discover all this. New room bigger than original, but all a bit odd and as a lone female traveller felt a bit uncomfortable as my return was at 10pm.
