Warm Welcome and Tasty Bistro

warm welcome daily service tasty meals

I stayed three nights on a business trip, and the staff were cute from the start. The housekeeping service ensured my room felt fresh and tidy daily. I enjoyed tasty evening meals in The Bistro. The menu offered enough variety over my stay there.

The room was overly warm, and I found no way to adjust the temperature. It was early in the year, and the outside temperatures were below 20 degrees. An adjustable thermostat would be great.

Location

The hotel benefits from a central location very near the bus station. This made travel for my work commitments straightforward. The convenience of the location enhanced my overall experience a lot.

My Classic Double Room featured comfortable beds and was clean, tidy, and warm, a relaxing space after a day of meetings. Housekeeping did a thorough job daily, and everything felt perfectly maintained.

Dining

Breakfast in the restaurant had a buffet style, and the full options prepared me well for my day. The evening meals in The Bistro were tasty, well-portioned, and the prompt service impressed me.

Facilities

The hotel offered reliable services and met all my basic needs effectively. I did not require more elaborate facilities during my business trip. I found the available amenities perfectly adequate for my short stay.

mixed feelings about this stay

peeling surfaces strong smell

my room felt dated. a strong smell from the kitchen filled the air since the window opened onto an internal area and chimneys. the peeling cabinet surfaces in the bathroom really bothered me, and i found it wasn't very clean. i left feeling pretty UNIMPRESSED.

great location friendly staff excellent service rotting window unreliable tv poor reception

i found the location to be great. it was right next door to a pub with great food and atmosphere. the staff were cheery and friendly. the service was excellent.

the window in my room didn't open. it was also rotting at the bottom. the tv reception was unreliable due to a massive aerial in the room.
