excellent swimming pool great breakfast choice super clean clean bedroom
the spa facilities included an excellent swimming pool. breakfast offered a great choice. the bedroom was spotlessly clean, i must say.
the staff seemed a little inattentive, often distracted by their computer screens.

a satisfactory visit
helpful staff extra pillows convenient location small room noisy door loud bang
the front desk staff was particularly helpful. they provided recommendations and extra pillows promptly. the location of the hotel is convenient. the high street is just a short walk across the bridge.
i encountered a small issue with the room provided. it felt quite small, resembling a closet more than a regular room. the front door of block 10 was very loud. it would bang shut whenever someone entered or exited the area.
