"Slightly odd stay. The hotel is down a little lane. I didn't realise that there was a charge for parking until I arrived. You need to ring a bell to get in to the hotel and then you get let it. As I arrived there were some people who thought they had a room booked but the person working there could not find it. I was then checked in and taken to my room. Nothing about the hotel was explained. As we went to my room, some parts of the hotel looked grand with impressive furishings, others looked like they were still being refurbished. I saw signs for a bar & restaurant - and a health club - and asked about the bar and restaurant but that did not actually exist yet. There was no food or drink in the hotel.
Access to my room was via a pin code rather than a key. I was concerned that the pin for my room was very simple and had a relationship to the room number so it may have been possible to work out the other pins for other rooms if they followed the same format. I wasn't given anything to show that I had checked in.
My room was large and comfortable with a desk, good wardrobe space and a good comfortable bed. There were plenty of sockets but no USBs. The bathroom was a decent size and had a shower over a bath.
The person who had checked me in didn't say much, and when I came to check out at around 7am there were no staff to be found anywhere in the hotel. After searching for some, I left a post it note to say I had checked out.
