faulty toilet unresolved problem

The shower room was great. I found it acceptable.

The toilet flush did not work. This proved a major inconvenience. I pushed the buttons repeatedly but the toilet would not flush. The staff knew of the problem, yet it remained unresolved.

Comfortable Stay

pillow variety great location

I found a variety of pillows which eliminated the need to use my own. The location made it easy to get back on the A14 to continue my travels. Breakfast offered pancakes, which I enjoyed very much.

I found no shampoo available to use in the shower. I had to call reception to request shampoo in the evening and again later that night because it was not delivered

Service

helpful manager early check-in cold room stained sink

Daniel, the Guest Service Manager, was particularly helpful. He accommodated my request for an early check-in upon my arrival. The breakfast offered a lovely start to the day with fresh selections.

The room felt quite cold upon entry , and I found the bathroom to have an unappealing, tired look because of some old stains in the sink. There was no direct heating in the room , and this made it quite uncomfortable.
