non-functioning wi-fi noisy building
I booked a classic king or twin room. upon arrival, the wi-fi was not working in my room. i tried to contact reception via phone, but no one answered. There was loud noise from other guests late at night, and i could hear doors banging and people talking. it was difficult to sleep, and the noise continued until past midnight and, the breakfast was mediocre. the scrambled eggs were watery, and the sausages tasted bland.

helpful staff tasty breakfast
i enjoyed the helpful, friendly staff. the hotel decor was really good. the interesting building added to the positive experience. i appreciated the tasty breakfast and good dinner table position in the bar.
i observed that the carpets appear very grubby and worn. the condition of the dining room seats also seemed badly worn. i thought these issues could be addressed.

average stay with some issues
full carpark average meal
The car park situation was really annoying. Locals occupied all the spaces because they were using nearby playing fields. this happened between 6 pm and 8 pm. finding a staff member for check-in and check-out proved difficult too. also, the meal was overpriced and just average. i wont return.
