Well, different is not the word for it, after booking online with a very impressive website, the staff were not exactly what you would expect, we had a big language barrier to start with but we got around that, No complaints with our room, it was spacious and clean. We were in the town to attend a funeral, after having a meal in the local Buffalo grill that evening we searched the town for a bar but the whole town was shut. We went back to the hotel, two of the staff were in the the reception area where there seemed to be some sort of bar, we asked if it was possible to have a bottle of wine, out of nowhere a man appeared claiming to be the owner and ushered us both into another large room the guy didn't speak English or so he said, I detected at least three other languages as he babbled on nonstop, he showed us to a large table where his life seemed to be spread all over it, remnants of food , a half empty bottle of Tequila and two gin bottles laying on the table. He poured my wife a huge glass of Tequila and placed it in front of her demanding she drunk it which she refused and I told him to back off. He then picked up a tray with six huge cigars on it, all had been lit and smoked at some time, he again tried to get us to join him in smoking one, which again we refused I stood up and said thank you but we are leaving he tried to block our way but thought better of it. If he was the owner something was seriously wrong with him. I wedged a chair under the door handle before going to bed. The breakfast was good no complaints there. I concur with a previous comment, Fawley Towere with a very sinister owner.
