food selection good service picturesque walk hidden car park useless system excessive rate
i enjoyed the selection of food at breakfast. the service was also good. i liked the surroundings and the walk to the boats was picturesque. this was a plus.
the car park was difficult to find. it was next to the public car parks. the car park was full . the air-conditioning system in my room was useless. it did not help during a heatwave.

decent hotel experience

friendly staff pleasant decor excellent location tiny room small bed crowded patio
the staff were friendly and professional throughout the hotel. the decor and furnishings were very pleasant. the location was excellent for accessing local amenities.
i was promised a dog-friendly room with patio access and a king-size bed but the room was tiny. the bed was not king-sized. the patio was an outside extension of the bar that was crowded and had amplified music.

Mixed Experience at a Central Hotel

short cord dog hair
The location on the High Street proved quite convenient.
The room lacked air conditioning, a significant problem. The provided fan had a cord too short to reach the window, so I found sleeping difficult. Breakfast seat cushions contained a lot of dog hair.
