My double room appears to have been recently refurbished and is a great improvement. £71 for room and 15 nights parking is a bargain, Otherwise I might have come by train. (4 years ago I paid £62 for 8 nights, albeit there were 2 of us on that trip.)
I completed the drive in daylight, including diving into Tesco Express at Horley to pick up some bacon and black pudding for Christine, my hotel manager.
The hotel has an Indian menu which I will try this evening. The restaurant and bar staff appear to be from the sub-continent so I am hopeful that the food will be good. I will update this blog later this evening as my tummy is rumbling!
Early to bed as I must leave before breakfast!
