Rip off stay

Staff verygood. Room pretty tired and only 1 set of towels. Asked at reception for another bath towel, which I was promised. Never came. In the morning we had one towel between us both to have a shower. Overall, very tired, and extremely over priced. Living on its laurels due to proximity to the tunnel.

I have been coming to this hotel for quite some years and unfortunately this was my last, Hotel has declined and prices have sky rocketed. Ps You now have to pay for parking outside hotel grounds which to me looks like a cheap cash grab.
