mixed feelings about this stay

cramped room obscured view
The breakfast included was acceptable. I didn't go hungry.
The "premium plus room" wasn't what i expected, though. it felt cramped. the promised loch view was mostly obscured by trees. I could barely see the water.

The views overlooked the loch. It was fabulous. Breakfast included the best smoked salmon and scrambled eggs I have ever tasted.
The Wi-Fi was very slow, and it kept disconnecting. The television in my room had limited channels.

minibar prices turndown service
The staff at breakfast was really good. That much is true.
The minibar prices was like highway robbery. I saw bottled water cost almost as much as a dram of whisky, just offensive. the promised turndown service never materialized. Maybe they thought i didn't look important enough.
