"Free WiFi - buy something and get the code."

"Never knowingly cold*(* when your body temperature drops so there is less difference between water temp and yours) ;-)"

"Morrisons supermarket next door has a cafe that opens at 8am - breakfast there! (Because Travelodge has pointless 'grab bag' breakfast thing that is amazingly expensive for practically nothing."

"No phones in the rooms, no mobile coverage for most operators."

"Metropolitan Line. Watford branch."

"This is a Samuel Smith's pub - cheap, good. Do not expect any brands of beer, cider, spirits or wine other than from their brewery."
