I went to check in while my husband tried to find a parking space. I entered the building and the place was deserted. I looked around then noticed a sign with phone numbers so thought I'd ring to say I was there but then I saw a woman come out of a room and she just said hello before going upstairs. Puzzled, I looked at the sign on the door she had come out of - it said private so surely, she must have been the host? I waited til she came back downstairs and asked her if she was who I needed to contact you check in. She just looked at me and asked how I got in. I gestured towards the door and said 'through the door'.
'It must have been left on the latch she sighed, what's your name?'
She came back with keys and explained it was room 1 on the first floor. I asked for a parking permit and explained that my husband was trying to find a parking spot.
She went back in the room and came out with a card and said I didn't need to scratch anything off as she had done it and that it was up until 10am on the day of departure.
That was the last I ever saw of her during our stay.
On entering the room, my husband and I were greeted by a god awful smell. I'm not sure what it was but it lasted our whole stay. The room was adequate. There was 2 bath sheets but no hand towel. There was tea/ coffee facilities and a small fridge which made that much noise, I had to switch it off during the night. There was a light just outside the door that stayed on all night and shone through the gaps.
