Acceptable Stay. Parking Issues

helpful staffmissing camerassecured parking
The staff were helpful and polite, certainly welcome.
On departure, I discovered my vehicle had been damaged in the paid parking area. The lack of cameras meant the hotel offered no assistance and disclaimed liability. This left me with an unexpected expense.
