Brighton The reservation of my room for the weekend went without a hitch. However the checking in system in no way covers the old adage of Hospitality trade. I’m not sure I agree with the almost Airbnb way of remote checking in, I much prefer face to face hospitality (just my preference). We were allocated the incorrect room and had this been a face to face handing over of the keys we wouldn’t have to go up to the room to embarrassingly be told by the couple in the room that they had been checked in the room ( face to face ) earlier in the day. We had been texted the incorrect room!. How hard can it be, there are only 6 rooms in the hotel? Very disappointing! Parking _ we purchased 2 parking permits @£15 each to cover our 2 days but beware, there is very little chance of getting a parking space there are 6 hotels in the street and only about 14 spaces, the next street is even worse so after driving around for 20 minutes searching for a space we ended up paying £2.50 to park in Morrisons to unload and deposit the luggage then driving to an NCP car park and paying £65.90 ( we knew how expensive Brighton but now we have just been reminded ). The room _ it was clean and functional with an adequate (but small )shower room ( the extractor didn’t work).. Not sure the fridge was necessary for a pint of fresh milk, UHT milk would have sufficed. The blinds stopped the folk from the opposite building seeing in but didn’t stop any of the morning light coming in. The ear plugs were (I assume) for the many pigeons but they weren’t really that much of a bother. We only had 1 overhead case but had we been staying longer the storage of a larger case would have been a problem. All in all not one of my most relaxing stays in Brighton but it was OK. I’ve received a text apologising for not having face to face interaction during our stay and offering a discount on our next stay but I don’t think we will be taking up the offer, I’d rather have had everything go right on the first visit.
