untrained staff difficult door lock
i found a couple issues the staff seemed understaffed and not particularly well-trained at reception for example i had to ask about evening meal times there was a general air of disorganization. also i found no handrail in the bathroom making it difficult to get into the shower furthermore the door was difficult to take the key from the lock.

numerous cobwebs ladybird infestation
I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness. There were numerous cobwebs at a high level. i also found a ladybird infestation in my room. More kept appearing even after disposing of many. i reported this to the supervisor, and she moved me, but it really impacted my sleep.

Acceptable Stay
good size air conditioning unit pleasant staff faulty remote kettle residue missing glass
The room was a good size. It had an air conditioning unit. This was appreciated . The staff were pleasant both in the pub and in housekeeping. They provided a good amenity tray.
The TV remote did not work properly. The kettle had white residue around the top of the lid. There was no glass available in the bathroom to get a drink of water.
