Fab room, customer service could be a nit improved

Lovely room, clean, great location. However disaapointing cocktail (it was warm?!). We were also given only 1 keycard between 2 (adults) which then necessitated careful planning when i poped out for a morning walk and didnt wNtvto disturbe my husband, but had to leave hime with no lights or electricity. And then although check out is 12, got a knock on the door at 10 am when we were leaving. Felt rushed and pressured to Vacate room on what we'd planned to be a relaxing morning. Disapponting end way to end our stay. Over very good value, clean and good location, but a few small tweaks would've made this really excellent.

Poorly run

Well... for a start I wasnt told about the £50 security deposit til I arrived to check in. And then was told i had to wait 5-8 days for it back. The fire alarm went off early Sunday morning waking us up, i understand these things happen so we went back to bed, only to be woken yet again by one of your staff knocking at our door wanting to clean the room. Bear in mind checkout was at noon and she knocked just after 9! The hotel is in a great location but sadly the staff let it down.
