A HOLIDAY DISAPPOINTMENT
Things started to go wrong as soon as we got to
the hotel. We were all being completely exhausted after
our long journey and looking forward to have a shower
and a rest. However, we found that our room was not
ready, which was very much annoying, although the
manager was extremely apologetic. While we were waiting, we asked
about the excursions to places of an interest which we had
read about in the brochure. Imagine how we felt when
we were told they had all been cancelled away! Apparently,
the person responsible for organising them had left
suddenly and had not been replaced. Then Sally saw a
notice that pinned to the door of the restaurant, saying
it was been closed for redecoration, and Peter discovered that
the swimming pool was empty. When we eventually got
to our room we were horrified to so find that it was at the
back of the hotel, and we had a view out of a car park,
which seemed to be used as a rubbish dump. We seriously began to
wonder whether or not to stay.
