That’s the explanation. I’m not sure what’s being clarified.
The prices are ridiculous, but if you’re staying there then what the fuck do you expect. Its already like 450 a night for 2 people. I don’t know why people spend so much on hotels. I’ve never been to a 5 star that was actually worth the money. Do they wake you up with oral sex? No. It’s money for service that is likely only gonna be just as good as a no star hotel with a good reputation. Then the food is up itself bullshit. Go to a cheaper hotel with a pool and spa. Then go into town for lunch and dinner. If I sound angry btw it’s just because I’m severely hungover 🤣
If you go to a 5 star hotel you are going to be paying 5 star prices, no idea why this is a surprise to people
Have we seen the scones?
Because if you are getting 3 normal scones and all those extras then €10 is acceptable in a 5 star hotel.
The absolute scones
It’s like that one about the couple in Venice, 43 euros for two water and two espresso, they were charged a tenner each for sitting outside for the view
5star hotel is expensive.
Who’d have thought?!
I’m not sure if I just read a news piece, or an ad.

Honestly, after the Will Smith/Chris Rock debacle, this controversy got forgotten about fast in Irish news cycles so why the hell would they dig it back up again? Asking for bad publicity.
