It's a great hotel for midweek stays but yes it is expensive, diamond recognition here is the best as I've never not been upgraded below executive and very often j suits ( request room 205 , it's opposite the gym/sauna yet quiet ) .
Parking is £20 but if you check in via executive lounge you bypass the concierge and they often " forget " to bill you, just get the lift straight from car park to floor 14, executive lounge in front slightly on o the right as you step out.
Breakfast can be taken in lounge or restaurant.....use restaurant for better selection but Finish with coffee in lounge as it's far superior!......any tips holla mate.
