Parking on Longbridge Way, RH6
The process was easy. The hotel receptionists didn't have much of an idea, though, which led me to think there could be problems during the parking period. Fortunately, everything went smooth and my car was there when I came back. It hadn't been towed away or received a parking ticket or anything like it, so now that I know this works, I'll keep using the Your Parking Space services. They are cheap and reliable.
