decent accommodation

lovely decor good breakfast great position noisy room single-pane windows late noise
the room had a lovely decor. the breakfast was good and the sunday dinner was delicious. the hotel position on the edge of the park is great and close to the tube station.
my room was at the front of the pub. single-pane windows meant it could be very noisy. there were people outside the front of the pub laughing and talking late.

adequate, but issues noted

stale bread ventilation ducts
The breakfast was quite limited. the bread seemed stale and the selection was not varied. my room faced some ventilation ducts. There were also some dead flies on the window sill. i emailed the hotel directly after my stay, but i never received a response.
