Acceptable Stay with a Few Drawbacks
convenient location friendly vibe cute staff missing radiator control poor pillows missing car parking
the location was convenient. i appreciated the friendly vibe within the pub downstairs. the staff members were very cute and helpful .
my room was quite hot and i found no radiator control to adjust it. the pillows provided could have been better for comfort. i also noticed the absence of car parking directly associated with the hotel.
