Acceptable Stay with Noticeable Flaws

clean roomunfriendly personless than cute arrival
The room was clean , which I suppose is the bare minimum.
I found it annoying that there was no one at the hotel to check me in . I had to trek over to the restaurant. The person there seemed put out by the request. It made the arrival process less than cute.

this hotel had ample charging points, which worked so well. the bathroom was so clean. it was spacious with hot water. i found the parking very ample, i did appreciate that. a sainsbury's superstore was right across the road, and that helps a lot.
i did notice the room i stayed in was basic. the pillows weren't supportive, and they did feel cheap. there was only one chair available, and that wasn't enough. the room felt small for the amount of people staying there.
