Ah Chicksands - en suite accommodation (with LOTS of towels, enormous double bed, cable TV, fridge etc) and a reception that sold beer very cheap. Admittedly this was only the transit hotel, but for $1:50 (or thereabouts) -
. Delights of the rod and gun club of an evening, a great eatery during the day and the bowling alley when all else failed. Shame it was all declared non standard post 1995, but at least they didn't sell the Priory off (but what happened to the ghost?).
