easy access luggage unloading luggage stowing early arrival continental breakfast great bonus peeling wallpaper damaged wallpaper faulty air conditioning missing spoons
It was easy to access this hotel by car, this made unloading luggage very simple. Our luggage was stowed since we arrived early, this allowed us to explore. Shops, restaurants, and the theatre were all a quick walk. We got a continental breakfast with our room, this was a fantastic bonus!
Wallpaper was peeling from the wall. The air conditioning looked like it was falling off the wall! There were no spoons for tea or coffee, just a nearly empty tissue box and no extras for the shower. I noticed noise in the evening from drinkers and early morning barrel deliveries.
