I wouldn’t come back. No free breakfast, charge for parking, no service to the actual room. We bought a salad downstairs, but there were no forks available as it didn’t come with one. Everything seems to be a huge inconvenience. We would’ve preferred to stay at Hampton next door, but couldn’t find a booking. We spoke to other guests and they also tried to get rooms at Hampton, but couldn’t.
