Okay Stay, Some Issues

ineffective plumbingparking charge
I found some aspects frustrating. My room's toilet plumbing was not very effective. I HAD to press both buttons hard to flush. an additional charge of £10 per night for parking felt excessive and unjustified (especially considering the room rate).

The breakfast was good and offered a decent variety.
The climate control in my Standard Double Room Single Sofa Bed did not work well. The room was either too hot or too cold. The toilet constantly refilled, so I could hear water running. The TV noise from the adjacent room was quite loud.

Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues

The room size was quite adequate.
The tea selection was rather basic. Only ordinary tea bags were available. I expected decaf options, or at least some hot chocolate. Fresh milk required a trip to the bar, and I got charged initially.

the check-in process was seamless and pleasant. the breakfast had a good variety of choices. the room was super clean and a good size (i especially liked the comfortable bed).
the restaurant experience was not great. my husband had the worst pizza, and nobody enjoyed their meal. wine per glass was expensive and not served chilled enough. parking cost an additional £10 per night (this felt a bit steep).
