I booked hotel with filters which i needed. This was a pool, gym and restaurant. The hotel you recommended and i booked had neither.
Feel extremely disappointed and ripped off as wouldnt have booked. I use hotels.com a lot and would like a refund or credit into my account.

Where are all the guests?
I've stayed at the Eight Acres many times over the years and it has always been a busy and vibrant hotel, but this time it was virtually deserted. Given the absence of guests there were fewer staff on duty. The staff were polite and helpful, but the whole place felt empty. Neither the gym nor the pool was available during my stay.

Very tired, no, exhausted Hotel
Very tired rooms, mattress was pretty bad, smallest TV I've had in a hotel. All draft lagers were off. (no gas!!) Wonder if they are struggling to survive. On the plus side, breakfast and staff were very good.
