decent stay, some ISSUES

shower temperature unreliable wifi
The staff were friendly and helpful . The breakfast was also quite tasty and filling.
The room I booked, a twin room, did NOT have a bath as I had requested beforehand. This was disappointing, especially after confirming this with the hotel before arrival. The shower temperature fluctuated wildly. It went from hot to freezing without warning, quite uncomfortable. The WiFi connection was also unreliable.

charred burger loud noise
The breakfast had good portions and it was served hot.
I ordered a burger cooked well for dinner. It arrived so charred that it was inedible. A loud banging noise occurred during the night. The noise possibly came from the heating system. I got no sleep.
