a middling experience

staff training
the staff needed more training. coffee and sugar were not automatically replaced in my room. the dinner order suffered a mix-up. this led to a long delay since a large group received service first instead of correcting my meal.

the bedroom was a really good size , and the beds were very comfy. i found the shower to be amazing , particularly the water pressure. the room included all the amenities i needed , a kettle , a mini bar and fridge , and shampoo.
the road down to the hotel has several potholes , though it is well signposted. i noticed some noise in the hallway at night. a different floor surface could manage this , or notices could request consideration from late arrivals.
