Acceptable stay overall

convenient locationfriendly staffsound insulationextractor fan
The location proved AMAZING!!! It was very convenient for visiting nearby attractions. The staff offered friendly assistance throughout my stay.
The room lacked proper sound insulation. I could hear noise from adjacent rooms. the bathroom extractor fan was not working properly. It did not effectively remove moisture after showers.

lovely experience

comfy bedattentive staffbright light
The room offered great value, with a comfy bed and useful amenities, like a hairdryer and an ironing board. the staff were really good. I'm grateful for their attentiveness. parking was convenient, and the hotel's location was near the town centre.
an orange light in the room was quite bright at night. it bothered me and made it difficult to sleep well.

I had a very good breakfast, it included many choices. the bacon was a bit hard. This was likely because it was kept warm under heat lamps. you could order eggs prepared fresh upon request though.
