Some Issues During My Stay

slippery shower disappointing food

The shower was not good, and I think it was dangerous. There was no slip mat so it was very slippery. I also felt there was little room to move. The plumbing was not great and the taps were hard to close. The food was disappointing too. The staff asked us to pay after every purchase, even though we were staying there.

overall a pleasant stay

presented room nice bathroom great staff fruit absence narrow bed early departure

The room was nicely presented. The bathroom had nice features. the staff was great and always ready to help. the pub food had good availability in the restaurant.

i needed to leave early at 8.15am, though breakfast service started at 8.30am. i would have liked to take a piece of fruit with me. the bed felt rather narrow and it affected our sleep.

traffic noise plumbing noise

The room got too warm I could not open the windows because of traffic noise. Plumbing made a lot of noise too cold taps running late and early. Online reviews show others reported this but the hotel did nothing about it. I found this very frustrating
