Underwhelming Experience with Billing Issues

good sizebilling mistakesdisorganised staff
The room was clean and of a good size.
The staff seemed very disorganised. I experienced numerous billing mistakes . I was overcharged for breakfast and wine I did not have, and even though I was told it would be taken off, it wasn't. The food was also pretty average.
