The fact that I was unable to rectify my booking details after I put in the wrong date for the second room I booked, therefor had leave the booking as I would not like to lose my money if I cancel it. The was no views to the city from the room I was in. This suggest that really, potluck reviews because someone else will look at it from a different angle!
