the greeting at reception was friendly. i found the staff in the bar to be excellent. cleanliness was apparent throughout the hotel. i found these aspects particularly commendable.
the heating seemed difficult to control. noise from the road was noticeable. i found some towels were worn. these issues detracted from an otherwise acceptable stay.
