A sign on the wall in the diner said "Keep an eye on your hat and coat" I did and some fooker stole my breakfast!
A gas cooker explosion in the kitchen in the 80's resulted in 10k worth of improvements.
Guests used to leave shampoo and soap in the rooms, and mice used to throw themselves onto the traps.
Alas, like all good things in life, it is with us no more.
