Sadly not good this time around

Stay a few times here and it was always excellent. This time not so good, 1st we tried to add drinks to our room which apparently did not recognise us as being at that room so the staff member accused us of not wanting to pay! - very humiliating and not our fault their backend systems are wrong! 2nd they let someone add food to our room bill and following the drinks situation we never added anything else to our bill. Very disappointed this time around especially worse as it was a weekend away for my partners birthday- certainly will think again about staying
