Turned up 40 minutes before 15.00 check in time, having checked in on line hoping to get a room key. No one at reception then someone turned up and told me to go away as it was before 15.00. Radiator in bedroom didn't work. Lots of the paintwork was chipped.

This is our second stay at this hotel. We got the same room 110. Is it the Expedia room? TV is about 7 to 8 feet high off the floor, and a foot from the high ceiling. Carpet is all rippled, a accident waiting to happen.
