Where's a nice spot in town where I can park myself and a book about filthy Allans for an indulgent day of blissful relaxation and Islamophobic inculcation?
Close proximity to good food, drink and a toilet also essential.

Yes, my colleagues reported the same after spending the night there after said event.
Isn't there that appalling steakhouse STK downstairs? By which I mean the clientele rather than the food.

That was after waiting 20 minutes to check in because the beautiful person on reception wasn't actually on reception. After that, it all got worse.Quote:

He mentioned to me that they were doing a free night for platinum holders, no strings, so I took them up on it. The experience was so appalling that at midnight I very nearly left to check into a different hotel.Quote:
