Central Hotel Location, Nice Indian Meal

town centerindian mealstrange smell
I really enjoyed the hotel's proximity to the town center. The location made exploring so easy. I also had a delicious Indian meal at the hotel restaurant. The lamb curry stood out as really good, and I enjoyed it very much.
The room did had a strange smell, and I noted it wasn't as clean as I would have liked. I found a dirty sock covering the smoke detector in my room. This issue needs addressing to improve guest experience.

9/10
The hotel features a restaurant that offers both English and Indian cuisine. A standout dish included the lamb curry, prepared expertly with a good mix of spices, and well worth sampling. The restaurant provides a cosy atmosphere.

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

poor cleanlinessdisruptive music
I found a few issues . The cleanliness was not what I expected. I noticed some dust and the bathroom could have been cleaner. the noise levels at night were quite disruptive. Music from a nearby venue made it difficult to sleep. I really needed a quiet night.
