There was no Shower gel in bathroom. There was no dental kit. Room service basically just fixed the duvet on top of the bed without fixing the bedsheet. No AC remote. Coffee mug from last night was just kept as it is.

Roadworks

Roadworks outside make finding the hotel a nightmare. No car park at the hotel - use the nearby NCP one. No discount on the parking fees
