charming stay
radio amenity comfortable bed tea selection
the room offered a radio that was already on. i found tea, coffee, and a generous supply of both. toiletries from bramley were available in the bathroom. the bed was large and comfortable.
i noticed the food prices seemed high for the dishes served. the dim lighting in the central area and the proximity of the tables contributed to an uncomfortable feeling.

Fantastic Stay with Amazing Amenities
amazing bed perfect bathtub lovely products
The bed was amazing. I slept soundly like a baby. The bathtub offered a perfect space for pampering and complete relaxation. I found complimentary shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, bath bubbles, and hand cream for use . Breakfast was amazing and the staff were happy and polite on my arrival.
My room had a small issue. The shower caps were not provided, made washing a bit challenging without hair products.

some issues with my stay
broken air conditioning missed housekeeping
the bed was comfortable enough, it was a comfy double room bath.
the room was quite small, it felt cramped even for one person. the air conditioning didn't work at all, made the room stuffy. the hotel didn't clean my room on the second day despite me asking them too.
