missing soapdismissive staff

The bathroom was not ideal. i found no liquid soap in the dispenser and the bathroom door didn't easily shut. it was difficult to open from the inside without extra effort. also, breakfast was disappointing. The white sliced toast was pale and not toasted well. it came with just two sausages, tomato, and beans. the staff seemed dismissive when i mentioned the issues, stating that the lack of towels was just my opinion, i did not find this very cute.

my partner and i enjoyed our time. the room's decor was fine. it felt clean, fresh, homely, and warm. the staff were accommodating, always smiling, and cute to us. they made my partner's birthday special, and i appreciated that.

There was a slight issue with the bathroom door. It didn't easily shut. when it was shut, it was difficult to open without effort.
