average stay with some letdowns

polite staffoutdated furniturequickly delivered food
The staff were polite. That was acceptable.
The room felt outdated, the furniture was not modern. the bedside lamp did not work. It was on the wrong side. i also ordered room service, the fish and chips were delivered very quickly, so it made me wonder if it was freshly cooked.

okay accommodation Experience

friendly receptionistlarge bedseparate showerunfriendly receptionistpoor lightingno response
the hotel receptionists were friendly ON arrival. The bedroom was large with a huge bed, and lovely bedding. the bathroom was great and had a separate shower, it was easy to control.
Receptionists COULD have been friendlier. This is something important. the lighting was poor, i could have used more brightness. i mentioned it to the receptionist AS i left and emailed the manager on thursday morning, there has been no response yet.
