friendly staff large room abrupt manageress computer screen
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. My room was a Classic Double or Twin Room and it was perfect and large. Breakfast was great with a lot of choice. It was cooked to order..
The manageress was rather abrupt on arrival. She could not even look up from the computer screen when I checked out.

warm room hot water
the room was really warm, a nice bonus since it was cold. hot water was plentiful and quickly available. (i always appreciate that!)
the staircase to the upper floors had freshly painted banisters, and i accidentally got some paint on my sleeve.

Acceptable but Flawed Stay

window issue extractor fan
Breakfast provided a decent selection of choices.
I requested a quiet room but was placed near a noisy kitchen. An extractor fan ran constantly. Secondary glazing was present, however, one window failed to close properly and the noise infiltrated the room. This issue significantly impacted my ability to rest effectively.

disappointing breakfast and uncomfortable pillows

poor quality uncomfortable sleep
The breakfast was a letdown. it was mostly self-service. I had to make my own coffee and order food at the bar, though the quality was poor. the pillows were rock hard too. i asked for softer ones, but i still got the same pillows after housekeeping made the room. it led to a very uncomfortable sleep.
