really good stay

easy accesscomfortable bedunclear explanation

the reception team offered a warm welcome and helped with luggage. i appreciated the easy lift access to my roomwith disabled facilities and ample wheelchair turning space. the bed was comfortable, and i found the heating controls effective. i also liked that the room was quiet and had tea, coffee, a kettle, and a fridge (that came in handy!).

the hotel informed me that the car parking was separate, and i had to enter my license plate into a tablet without a clear explanation. this process felt a bit disconnected from the hotel's services, and better integration could enhance the guest experience.

The location was acceptable, with access to nearby facilities.

I was not pleased about the room. The air conditioning did not work properly, so the room became uncomfortably stuffy. The shower was also broken and difficult to use properly so it was a frustrating experience overall.
