room Needs updating

dated furniture external noise
the room felt dated. the furniture looked worn, and the bathroom had some issues. i noticed the shower temperature fluctuated a lot.. also, the noise from outside made it difficult to sleep soundly. the windows seemed thin and did not block out much of the street sounds.

ample space prompt service weak wifi missing bath mat
the breakfast was substantial (i especially liked the scrambled eggs) and the service was prompt. our room, a double or twin room, had ample space and included a modern television. the staff quickly addressed our request for extra pillows. the parking area had many spaces.
the bathroom did not include a bath mat, i thought it was inconvenient. the wifi signal was weak in the room. (i hope it can be fixed soon)

An Acceptable Stay

large breakfast friendly staff dark room missing bulbs
The breakfast offered good value. It was quite large. Staff were friendly, and nothing seemed like too much trouble for them. Parking was easy, with ample space available. The location was convenient with bus routes nearby.
The room I was in was dark and required refurbishment. There were some bulbs that were not working in the bedside lamps. The bathroom had no radiator and it was quite cold.
