uncomfortable bedmissing towel rails
The reception area felt quite worn upon arrival, a little underwhelming. My superior double room was not ideal. The tea station sat awkwardly on the bedside table, and the bed wasn't comfortable. The bathroom had the toilet right by the window with only a heavy curtain for privacy. towel rails were absent in the bathroom, such a disappointment.
