decent location, disappointing room

friendly staffno shelf

The staff were friendly and helpful, I will give them THAT.

The room was quite basic, i'm not even kidding. There was no shelf in the shower for toiletries, a MAJOR inconvenience. Plus, the curtains did not block out the light at all, so it was like daylight all night long.

mary provided excellent service, even arranging a taxi to the race course. she prepared sandwiches for the evening and cooked a nice breakfast with strong tea. the room was clean and warm, and she checked on the guests regularly. plenty of parking spaces was also available.

I found that the ground floor room advertised as an "economy double" had a bed smaller than expected. the radiator could not be turned off. It was hot. church bells rang through the night due to an old window i couldn't close.
