Acceptable Location, Some Disappointments

useless air conditioning uncomfortable beds
The location was fantastic, offering easy access to key points of interest.
The room's air conditioning was practically useless. It barely affected the room temperature. I found the reception staff quite rude and dismissive when i raised this issue. the beds were not comfortable (a real nuisance).

The room was spacious. The walk-in shower included a good range of items. This was much appreciated! The breakfast buffet presented many options. There was even a specific section for gluten-free foods.
The hotel is located on a pedestrian street. My Satnav had some trouble finding it!
