 If you need a reminder that the old saying you get what you pay for is usually untrue may I present Novotel It was not my first choice but I hoped the rather steep price would be offset by a spacious room with all the expected facilities The room was not small but still cramped Facilities a letdown Tiny insubstantial coffee cups and a TV with no programme guide i e for some reason it was one of the functions channels they d blocked Who really cares about a mini bar an in house laundry service or an ipad dock when you have a dodgy tv dodgy tea service and a strange two part ensuite arrangement shower and bath in a large screened off area toilet in a wardrobe size compartment which is almost in plain view of the person entering the room 
 I liked the location
