a lovely stay!

kind staffcomplimentary teafresh milkbroken tiles
the staff was kind and cute. i found the complimentary tea upon arrival a thoughtful gesture. my room, a good haven, featured fresh milk for tea and a charming radio (such a nice touch!). i appreciated the convenient free parking within the hotel grounds.
i noticed the decoration seemed a little tired, with some broken tiles in the bathroom. this minor issue didn't detract significantly from my overall experience, but it is worth noting for potential improvements.
