decent stay with some drawbacks

inconsistent showersoft pillows

the shower temperature was inconsistent it fluctuated between hot and cold. also i found the pillows too soft they offered little support. this made it difficult to get a good night's sleep and i woke up with a stiff neck. the tv remote didn't work properly i had to manually change the channels.

The room had very comfortable beds. I liked the short walk to the town center. The car park was also a short walk away. The room offered a very quiet environment. The manager set out breakfast early for us. The breakfast was good.

The staircase was winding and there were no ground floor rooms.
