thin wallsparking charge
The walls seemed thin. I could hear conversations from the adjacent rooms. it wasn't exactly a peaceful retreat. also, the promised "free parking" turned out to cost ten pounds, quite the little surprise. i thought that was a bit of a scam, not cool at all. We loved the area around the hotel, but that parking charge soured things a bit.
