We followed the instructions in the confirmation email to park at Pepper Street carpark which the hotel could give a discount for, however we were later told that we could park on-site as we were staying at the annexe. The hotel didn’t give any discount for the parking fee incurred.
The first apartment we were given was apartment 3. Everything seemed good until we were about to shower when we found that the water heater wasn’t working. We tried calling the hotel but no one picked up the phone...
