solid stay, few minor hiccups

friendly staffbreakfast selectionworking air conditioning
Staff were friendly. the breakfast selection included many options. i appreciated the air conditioning. It worked well and allowed temperature adjustment. the hotel is near many shops and restaurants. the railway station is close. Trains run frequently to london.
one morning, a room key disappeared. only one card remained. the alcohol selection at the bar seemed limited. i found that disappointing.
