Really good Stay at a Landmark Building

helpful amenitiescomplimentary watereasy transportconsiderable noise
I found helpful amenities inside the room. A fridge, complimentary water, toiletries, a shower cap, earplugs, a safe, and biscuits were available. A fan, an ironing board, and an iron were conveniently already in my room. The location worked well. A bus stop sits directly outside providing easy transport from the train station.
I noticed the absence of air conditioning. Opening the windows resulted in considerable noise from the road outside during the night, and then early morning. The bed felt not comfortable. Pillows did not meet the standards.

The hotel features public areas. I observed the reception area, the bar, and the restaurant. Every staff member I met was to be above average. The hotel provided excellent food in the restaurant and bar, so every penny was well spent.

Adequate Stay with a Few Downsides

small roombright spotlights
The room I had was quite small. Bright spotlights shone into the room at night. This made it impossible to see outside without closing the curtains. I found that quite annoying

the breakfast was lovely with so much choice. i especially appreciated the organic shower shampoo it smelled so nice. it felt secure since there was registered parking for the car.
the bar prices are quite expensive i thought. nearly thirteen pounds for one pint and a small coke seem a lot. i also noticed i wasnt told about the school prom that night and it was really loud when the kids arrived.
