Grantley Hall was renovated using ex-Mrs Sykes’ divorce settlement.
Helipad provided to entertain Southerners and their expensive whims.
Hotel can only exist if they have specific guests.
Guests who don’t want to pay an extortionate fee to spend further money at the establishment can go elsewhere.
Hotel which applies extortionate fee sets its stall out early- attitude which probably is not limited just to helipad fees.
It’s an impressive renovation but you can tell for whom it was renovated for.
In my simple mind - a hotel to charge a fee for a guest when nothing extra has been provided is a hotel that is both short-sighted and discriminating. In the same manner as I would not stay in a hotel if they charged extra for me to park my car at their location.
Then can I respectfully suggest you do not try to park in any decent airport hotel or indeed any hotel in a main city in the USA!
