underwhelming stay at this hotel

lack of fridgedated hotel
I found some issues . the room lacked a fridge, a real inconvenience. also, i had to ring the doorbell to get in at night and waited quite a while outside. the hotel seems dated. Card scanners or fobs should really be used..

The staff were friendly and always willing to help. I found that they worked really hard to ensure every guest had a great experience. I appreciated that the breakfast was delicious and included ample choice, setting me up perfectly for the day.
The bathroom lights operated on an automatic system, they couldn't be turned off manually. This caused some inconvenience during the night as it could disturb others in the room.
