The staff didn't check me in properly, didn't help arranging a taxi - phoning me at 23:30 that night to say it had been cancelled; the reception staff member was unable to understand basic English and shrugged her shoulders at me. The meal in the restaurant was a nightmare - the 2nd steak I had served to me was raw and cold in the middle. By the time they got me a pork chop to eat, my guests had finished their meal. When checking out, they tried to charge me for the 2nd room and extended check out for it, even though I had paid this when I checked in. They didn't seem able to give me an itemised bill at first and I explained there was no charge for the meal, which I was expecting to pay for my guests dinner, but not mine. This was supposed to be a celebratory event, with my partner graduating at `middlesex Uni, which, although 15 minutes away by car, was looked at as though it was in Scotland or something! I will never stay at this hotel again.
