reliable stay near badminton

excellent breakfastgood size bedroomhelpful staffwindow frame
The breakfast was excellent. It included a very good choice of items. the bedroom was a really good size. It had ample space for luggage and movement. staff members are helpful, they addressed all questions quickly. i appreciated their quick response to requests.
I noted bits of window frame missing. This shows a lack of money spent on maintenance. water leaks and water staining were visible. These were at various points throughout the hotel. more frequent maintenance is needed.

They are always ready to help with a smile. Breakfasts presented an amazing start to each day with warm options. The shower in the room offered powerful jets, a welcome treat after a long journey.
I noticed the hallway carpets show slight signs of wear, a very minor detail to an otherwise flawless experience.
