Bathroom need attention #3
Perfect location for my needs, late check-in was handled well by very pleasant staff member. The room was clean, well presented, lovely new bed with well laundered bed linen and towels, the room seems to be nicely updated. I have stayed here before and would not hesitate to stay again, very happy with my time here.
Perfect for our three night stay. We ate at the hotel each night. Meals and service were great. Just disappointed in our meal on the third night but would not hesitate to go back. Location was perfect. Room was good size. Bed very comfortable. Looking forward to our next visit.
We stayed one night before running the marathon so stay was short. We were right next to the beer garden so was loud when trying to sleep. Had we been there for another reason it probably wouldn’t have been an issue. Really nice to get a free welcome drink voucher. That was very cool and staff were very friendly and helpful.
