Decent Stay with Some Issues

rickety chest cheap wardrobe
The room furnishings felt dated for the price I paid at £230 a night. The drawers in the chest were difficult to open. The doors on the wardrobe seemed cheap. I also missed having a hand shower attachment in the bath. It made washing my hair awkward.

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

inconsistent shower limited parking
The shower temperature was inconsistent. The water pressure was also quite low, particularly during peak hours. This made showering less enjoyable and a bit frustrating, especially after a long day (I wasn't expecting this). The limited parking near the entrance was also inconvenient. I often had to park further away.
