helpful staff good breakfast missing towel rack desk dust

The staff were friendly and helpful. I had trouble with the parking app but the receptionist sorted it. the location was good and there was plenty of parking, which i liked. breakfast was really good with plenty of choice. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit.

My room did not have towel racks in the toilet. This was inconvenient. there was also dust everywhere. I noticed it especially on the desk.
