Decent Location, Many Shortcomings

dark dungeonmissing channels
The car park presented a disappointing introduction, it was a dark dungeon. It reeked of urine, a serious wash down and improved lighting is necessary. The absence of BBC channels proved frustrating, this seemed a long standing issue. This absence became more annoying, given the Euros were on.
