okay stay with some issues

sticky wardrobe dust issue
i found a couple things not up to par. there was no toilet roll, towels, or bin in my room when i arrived (slightly inconvenient). i had to wait for them to bring these items. also, i noticed the wardrobe was sticky and there was some dust (not a huge deal, but noticeable).

newly decorated rooms

modern decor cute staff great location
the rooms are modern and clean i found all staff very warm and cute. it was a pleasure to stay and i would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. the location is great with parking and the train station close by.
after the pub closed there were multiple security codes required to access my room. a builder's security fence with a turn-type padlock led into a dark courtyard. i experienced problems with the electronic code entry and was left unable to get into my room at 1am.
