breakfast selection quality toiletries maintained garden poor soundproofing inadequate housekeeping rundown tennis court
The breakfast selection had a good variety and the staff ensured all items were fresh. My room included high-quality Milton Brown toiletries which I thought was nice. The gardens were well kept offering a pleasant space to relax.
The room I had lacked soundproofing I could clearly hear road traffic. Housekeeping did not replace used items adequately I had to request more tea. The tennis court looked rundown it needed some attention.
