Mixed Feelings on the Stay

large roomstained toilet seatuncomfortable mattress

The room was clean and large enough, I suppose.

The breakfast area seemed like a chaotic space, offering not a lot of choice at all. My bathroom needed some serious upgrades. There were stained toilet seat, broken floor tiles and chipped woodwork. Plus, the mattress felt hard. It was not very comfortable.

I stayed two nights and choose this hotel for its easy access to destinations. I find the check in quick and efficient. the staff are friendly and helpful. Room 15 was spacious and clean. It included a well-designed, clean showeroom. Blackout curtains create a very quiet room, and beds were comfortable.

The hotel is on an industrial estate. The state of the building is not good. Many corners are worn, and there are problems with sockets and the hairdryer.

The room was spacious and bright. All the necessary amenities were provided. I liked the variety of pillows available.

The cooked breakfast was dry and bland. Doors in other rooms did not have soft close, that meant doors were banging early in the morning.
