Basic stay with issues

cluttered room unadjustable heating

The location proved convenient for my needs.

My room felt quite cluttered! and the bed was positioned right against the wall, next to the radiator. The heating remained on throughout the night, and there was no way to adjust it. Getting out of bed during the night proved difficult.

a decent place for a short visit

clean room kitchen facilities convenient location broken slats limited breakfast pixelating screen

the room felt very clean, which i appreciated after a long journey. there was a kitchen with all the facilities i needed, that was very convenient. also, the location allowed easy access to nearby shops.

The blinds in my room didn't quite fit the window. Some slats were broken, that was annoying. the breakfast listed fresh fruit, but there was only one overripe banana available. the tv had limited channels. It only had bbc channels and the screen kept pixelating.

a quiet night in a simple space

soft bed perfect location simple space

the bed offered a soft embrace, just what i needed after a long drive. the location proved perfect for my visit with a friend living close by. a simple space it was, but it gave shelter from the night and thats all i wanted.

the room felt crowded, with little space i could move around. the office chair took up too much area, blocking easy access to the patio doors. this.

the hotel offers parking on site but it is limited, so you may need the roadside on a quiet road. it made moving luggage in easy.
