comfortable and convenient stay

kind receptionist larger room comfortable bed

the receptionist was very kind and upgraded me to a larger room, as there were bigger unoccupied rooms. the bed was comfortable. the shower worked well and i had everything i needed (even though my stay was brief). the hotel was festive, with christmas decorations adding to the atmosphere.

i noticed the walls lacked soundproofing. i could hear sounds from the adjacent room, a bit disruptive.

the staff handled my christmas meal very well. i liked the tender beef. my staffordshire turkey was very good. portions were perfect and the value included a mince pie with coffee. the service was attentive. the staff opened an accessible entrance for my 92 year old father. the receptionist was friendly, polite and an ambassador for the hotel.

i noticed a slight issue. the television remote did not work well. the reception changed batteries. the remote still did not function.
