Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

noisy room broken television
The location was fantastic for seeing local attractions.
The room I had was quite noisy with an extractor fan that ran constantly. It took some getting used to. (Honestly, i am still not sure what it was for) The television also did not work properly.

Central and Comfortable Stay

central location refurbished room complimentary drinks
The location was central. The room was newly refurbished and beautiful. A roberts radio was playing quietly upon my arrival. Complimentary drinks in the fridge were a nice touch.
I found that the new cooked breakfast service was a bit disorganised. It had aspects of both buffet and a la carte dining. The process could be streamlined for efficiency.
