I liked the lovely atmosphere of this hotel. Christmas decorations were original. I was given attention when I required something.
The fine for parking felt unfair, especially after being a loyal customer for fifteen years.

The building had a historic charm that I found acceptable.
I was disappointed with the condition of the room. The carpet was uneven and patched. The chest of drawers was also badly damaged. This required attention.
