Satisfactory stay

I found the staff friendly and helpful. They prepared a packed breakfast for my early departure. The bed was good, the hot water was reliable, and the shower worked well.
I found that dinner was too expensive and the service was slow. The room was not very clean, and carpets were not hoovered. Dust was noticeable.
