“Advanced motel with bling”
The car is parked in a spacious garage with an electronic door. I think I could have parked my van inside (the same size as a VW Transporter). After closing the door, I used the internal stairs to reach the very large room. The garage was cold enough in November to keep food at a better temperature than in the room. The receptionist was incredibly helpful, knew what customers might find unusual, and was friendly, approachable and informative. Using the car park, why is this always a convoluted space, almost an afterthought in design? I had no idea where to go when I arrived. Apparently I had to check in at the car park and received instructions on how to find my room. The massive ensuite built into the bedroom was my fault, but due to tiredness I walked straight into a clear glass panel of the ensuite because I thought it was the massive doorway into the ensuite. There is excessive bling that leads to a lack of practicality, especially with furniture. I, usually, am not bothered about a hotel decor for one night (I am mostly sleeping) but it was dull, dark but stylish. Definitely hated the number of lights and light switches. Completely OTT. And it was still a dark room. In addition, no configuration of light switches enabled a dark room for sleeping until I removed the entrance card from the holder…well almost dark some of the footlights still glowed all night and there was one small light still blinking away.
