helpful staff lovely toiletries excellent location damp patch bathroom fan no hot water
The staff were helpful with everything! The room included lovely toiletries. I found that detail quite thoughtful. Breakfast was very nice and served promptly. The location was excellent. It made getting around easy.
The hotel needs some refurbishment. I saw a large damp patch on the carpet at the bathroom entrance. The room smelled of damp! There was no hot water for a shower, not ideal. The fan in the bathroom did not work.
