Acceptable but Disappointing

noisy courtyard dirty towels
My room faced the courtyard, and it got quite noisy. Guests were walking and talking late into the night. The cleaning staff started early, and the trolley wheels echoed. fresh towels were not provided, the old towels were folded.

Okay stay. Some issues need addressing

dangerous kettle stuffy room
The meal I had was delicious.
The kettle didn't switch off automatically. THIS was very dangerous. None of the windows opened, so the room was unbearably stuffy. the bed moved around freely because it wasn't fixed properly.

I enjoyed my visit. The staff was helpful. The king size room offered cleanliness, and included adequate equipment. I liked that all areas of the building were dog friendly. It was convenient.
The absence of treats or other dog provisions was surprising. I understood a bed and bowls were standard amenities.
