pleasant and convenient lodging

ample parking local attractions continental breakfast helpful staff
i found ample parking upon arrival. the hotel's proximity to local attractions was indeed convenient. the complimentary continental breakfast included fresh croissants and a selection of cheeses. i found the staff consistently polite and helpful throughout my stay.
The television remote required direct pointing at the tv for proper function. It seemed slightly temperamental.

lovely room and friendly staff

super clean room clean bar delicious food
the rooms were super clean. the bar and dining area were also very clean and modern. i was really impressed with the food in the restaurant (especially the steak!). i would definitely recommend it. thank you for a lovely stay.
the rooms seemed ready for a refresh. there was only one bedside cabinet on one side of the bed and no plugs on the other. the shower room had a small, sloping shelf, and my aftershave bottle slid off.

poor quality furniture mouldy bread
the room was spacious and provided a good base for my visit.
i found the furnishings to be quite austere and of poor quality. the shower head attachment was broken, hanging loosely from the wall. breakfast included mouldy bread, a very unpleasant discovery.

Mixed Experience at This Hotel

noisy road dismal breakfast
The room was clean and quite spacious.
The room was located on a very busy main road. It was noisy all night. Breakfast was dismal, with a surly and unhelpful young lady on duty. It took a long time to get plates and cutlery after a 20-minute wait.
