average stay with some issues

parking charge no hotel support
the location was pretty central (i didn't have to walk for ages to get anywhere).
i was charged for parking even though i entered my car registration on the tablet. i appealed, explaining i stayed there, but they said i must have done it wrong. it is quite annoying because the hotel didn't offer any help or reimbursement (despite the fact we spent a fair amount there).

the hotel's location was acceptable, right in the middle of the town.
the sash window was propped up with a piece of wood, i was disappointed. it felt unsafe. the fans in the room were very loud too, it sounded like an aeroplane taking off. none of us got any sleep.
