the staff were nice there.

The room smelled bad. I was surprised they let people stay there for that price. the food times were not consistent with the website. Dinner was booked but not available. the girl at departure didn't seem concerned about the feedback given.

Acceptable Stay

convenient location bramley products great breakfast perfunctory greeting empty bar poor service

I appreciated the hotel's location. It was very convenient. The provided toiletries from Bramley products were also a plus, and I enjoyed their scent. The breakfast was delicious. It had a great choice of items.

The greeting at arrival felt perfunctory. It seemed staff tried to rush through all the rules. Locating someone upon arrival was challenging, because the bar area was empty. I wasn't thrilled with the service. It reminded me of the hotel was a bar run by trendy people with no hotel service clue.

mixed feelings about the stay

cold shower noisy heating pipes

the car park opposite was convenient, and i appreciated the location.

the shower was cold, a real disappointment. heating pipes were very noisy throughout the night, which affected my sleep quality. i hoped for a more restful experience, but the noise made it difficult.
