extra bedsample parkingcooked breakfastold bathroomsbroken shower headworn carpet

the room had plenty of space. it even had an adjoining room with extra beds. the location provided a large car park and separate parking . i found the breakfast had plenty of choice, especially with the cooked options.

the bathrooms looked quite old and should be renovated. our shower head was broken, i noticed. the bathroom was not clean at all. the carpet in the rooms seemed old and worn down, too.

varied optionattentive staffslow servicedated decor

The breakfast was superb! i liked the variety available. It included both continental and cooked options. the staff were also very attentive. the triple room was spacious. it easily accommodated my family with plenty of room to move around.

the service at dinner was slow. we waited over an hour for our main courses, and no one checked on us during the wait. the room décor felt dated. the wallpaper was peeling in a couple of spots, and the furniture looked worn.
