History, like the old dimly lit corridors leading to breakfast room, except couldn’t see what you were eating properly where we were put, some of the tables l noticed were in a better position with better lighting, even though we were at the breakfast earlier than some we were put in the same area, l did ask to sit somewhere with more light but they seem to sit other people in the better lit areas, twice l noticed certain residents got priority,even though we didn’t pay for cheap accommodation and we were at the breakfast room first and the tables didn’t have a reserved sign so l was a bit annoyed and l did happen to come across some foreign object in my food as l couldn’t see properly, don’t know where it came from as it was like a piece of fibre as l was eating only on the second morning this happened to which put me off, also the Courtyard State room we were in No 29 was lovely but there was a lot of noise coming from the room next to us all through most of the night , didn’t get much sleep,glad l was only there for two nights as l would of complained, next time l think l would stay in the Castle rooms as l think they are more soundproof.
