Why haven’t they used the large underground garage at the Ibis ?

as we discussed last year when I stayed there and you asked why I parked by reception, the Ibis does not seem to have underground parking. At river level, under the street level reception, are bedrooms. They have either converted the garage you used in 2005 to rooms or they previously leased the garage in the building next door, which does have a river level, indoor car park. That building is a casino & restaurant.

Ah yes. Remember now . They must have converted the garage to rooms as there used to be a steep ramp just to the side of the main entrance on the left .

I wish you hadn't said that...I have a vision of you "doing" the Barry Manilow movements to that song complete with swirling wes'cutt. I can't get rid of it. !
