bad smell noisy doors
The breakfast was super. It was nice to have food served to order.
The room was hot when I arrived. there was a bad smell in the corridor. I found that quite off-putting, you know. Noisy doors banging through the night didn't help, and people chatting outside my room late at night and early in the morning didn't allow a good sleep.

The staff demonstrated excellent professionalism. They were very accommodating to all requests. The room offered ample space and the bed allowed for a restful night.
The car park had limited space. I had to find parking on the main road each night. The breakfast quality did not match the price point.
