Adequate, but Some Issues

breakfast servicecold bar arearemote control
Breakfast service was satisfactory. The staff allocated to this area seemed well-trained.
My room was quite disappointing. The television did not function because the remote control had dead batteries. The bar area was consistently cold because a door was left open for smokers. This greatly detracted from the atmosphere.

The breakfast offered a fantastic variety of cooked dishes. The room I stayed in, a Double Room Private Bathroom, was very spacious. The location was also convenient, near the train station, it made getting around so simple.
My room faced the street and was noisy when the pubs closed. I recall being woken up by shouting. The shampoo and conditioner containers was to be refilled, they were covered in dried product. The net curtains were dirty, I was very disappointed by them.
