somewhat underwhelming stay

the staff were helpful and always available at reception.

the room i was allocated was quite small and the sink plug was the wrong size, attached to the chain. stepping into the shower required a significant step up, over 12 inches, and there were no facilities for placing soap or shower gel, which i found inconvenient and somewhat dangerous upon exiting as there was no shower mat.
