underwhelming stay

weak showercold room
The shower was little more than a dribble. It barely got me wet. the car park looked more like an industrial estate than a hotel entrance. our room wasnt warm enough, even after i told them about the heating problem. the towel rail was also falling apart when i tried to use it.
