Not the Worst, Not the Best

small room noise issue
The breakfast was fine. It did the job.
My room was quite small, I thought. Space was so limited. The bed felt too close to the toilet. Plus, noise traveled easily. I could hear everything happening next door. I really wish it had been quieter.

Satisfactory Stay

warm welcome available parking clean room
I received a warm welcome upon arrival at the hotel. Parking was available, though it was somewhat tight. The room was clean, though it showed some signs of wear. The food was great and a simple bag of crisps was a welcome treat after a long day.
The check-in process was very quick. There was no explanation about breakfast times. The form for all guests to add details seemed like a slight breach of data protection. I found these details less than ideal.
