central parkingcard problemcash refusal
parking existed and was quite central, exactly what i expected.
My debit card presented a problem, prevent drinks or meals. this situation posed a potential health risk because i am insulin dependent. though i had cash, the hotel did not accept it. staff also refused to contact my wife for her card details. This all seemed needlessly difficult.
