Great overnight stay, friendly staff

The receptionist was very thoughtful because a function was scheduled for the night of my stay, she gave me a room far from the noise. I really did not hear anything! The room was very clean and very comfortable, so I slept well. I felt completely relaxed there.
I noticed that the shower room was badly designed. The shower door was only half size and glass. The shower spray wet the whole bathroom floor.

the room was quite spacious. it was a standard double room. tea and coffee facilities were available in the room (much appreciated). the hotel grounds were well kept.
the room was very basic. the door had a gap underneath, letting in light and sound. the blinds on the window let in a lot of light. (it was hard to sleep well).
