clean room thoughtful water
Brian welcomed me warmly. He quickly sorted parking for me, which i really appreciated. My room was very clean, and it had a hospitality tray with tea, coffee, and biscuits. Complimentary water cooled in the fridge was replenished each day. I found this very thoughtful.
Heavy condensation on the windows made it difficult to enjoy the sea view at times.
