missing air conditioning insufficient sound insulation
the breakfast was acceptable. (the coffee was decent).
the room was quite warm. i found there was no air conditioning provided, a significant oversight. the noise from outside was also intrusive as the windows provided insufficient sound insulation (i could clearly hear traffic).

the room WAS clean, which i suppose is the bare minimum one expects.
My "classic twin room" felt cramped and dated. The furniture looked WORN, and the overall impression was disappointing. the television remote didn't work. i reported the issue, but it remained unresolved throughout my stay.

a good escape, dog-friendly and convenient!
dog-friendly hotel ample spaces comfortable bed great feature
I found the hotel dog-friendly, it presented plenty of open spaces for good walks with my furry companion. the room i stayed in was generously sized, offering comfort and ease. i must say, the bed was comfortable. I slept soundly throughout my stay. the location was great. It facilitated easy access to the motorway, a great feature for my onward journey.
The lift seemed a bit small. I found it slightly difficult to manage with luggage.

The free parking was very convenient. The buffet lunch had warm food and a great selection. I found my room to be clean and warm. The team provided great communication for organizing the event. I was pleased with the event staff. Jane and Claire were attentive.
The initial room given had limited operational sockets. This required us to move rooms. It was a definite inconvenience.
