Paying for parking is a real annoyance. I get it, people who are not resident should pay, but fleecing another £24 out of me on top of the high priced rooms is annoying. Food is frankly crap. Very few menu choices on horrible little terminals, missing fundamental condiments like English mustard. Rooms were either freezing or too hot. The heating in the room does nothing till you set it to 25+ degrees, then starts to warm up a bit before heating it to thermonuclear before you know it. Breakfast is OK but slow. All in all a very poor showing by what is supposed to be a premier brand. The Holiday Inn express down the road is better, cleaner and more personal
