The staff members were helpful . the breakfast offered a fantastic selection of items each morning. i also found electric vehicle chargers in the carpark. It was a welcome convenience. the bar had live music one evening. It created a lively atmosphere.
The windows needed cleaning. The frames and fascia also required immediate attention. there was noise early in the morning. Men working outside at 5.30am were shouting near the tanks at the back. i believe the noise woke several guests.
