Crystalbrook Bailey

Crystalbrook Bailey

10/10 Excellent
"Great stay overall. The only issue I had was that at check-in time I was told that I will only be charged for breakfast if I have it. However at check-out I was told I was being charged for 3 breakfasts per the entries by their restaurant staff. I was very surprised as I only had 1 breakfast, the front desk person rectified it, but it was disappointing to know that the charges were put in despite confirmation otherwise."
