the staff were friendly. they provided helpful information about the local area.
The wifi connection was impossible, we tried many times, but it would not connect. The shower room had a strong odour. it smelled like dirty drains.
I like that the staff helped me with my taxi to the venue. The room was ready for me early. Breakfast was first rate and I eat it in the pub. They had a wedding at the venue but that was no problem at all.
Connecting to the WiFi was impossible. I tried many times but it did not work. There were an odour in the shower room. I think they were dirty drains.
