just okay, i guess

broken tv heating noise

The tv didn't work, annoying after a long day. also, the noise from the heating system kept me awake. It sounded like a spaceship was landing right outside my room. i asked about it, but the staff didn't seem too bothered. perhaps earplugs should be included in the room, or is that too much to ask..

tidy room spacious wardrobe clean bathroom inadequate parking external firm parking fine

The room was tidy. It was spacious enough for my cabin-sized bag, and it had a wardrobe. The bathroom was clean. THE shower was sufficiently spacious.

The parking at the hotel is not ideal. The car park is owned by an external firm. I had a correct parking ticket. I still received a £60.00 fine.

good television comfortable bed easy communication

The television was a good size and allowed streaming. The bed offered comfort. Transactions and communication happened easily. I found the breakfast selection to be epic.

The absence of tea or coffee facilities in the room was inconvenient. I had to go downstairs. The tea area felt a bit unwelcoming because it was roped off. I needed to ask for permission to use it.
