Satisfactory stay
hearty breakfast fresh fruit engaging host check in system staff presence outside door lock
The breakfasts are hearty. They are also healthy with fresh fruit on offer. The host is wonderful. She is very personable and engaging.
The self check in system did not work well. It was frustrating. I did not like having no staff on premises. It was like an apartment building because of individual outside door locks on each room.

Acceptable Stay, heating Issue
heating issue insufficient warmth
The breakfast offered a suitable continental selection for me.
I must mention the heating issue I experienced . I did not find it funny. The room lacked sufficient warmth, and I'm fairly sure they were trying to save money.
