Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

significant noise unhelpful warning

The staff was friendly and accommodating to my needs

The noise was significant because they held a party for a teenager. A warning when I booked would have been helpful. The music stopped but some partygoers sounded like they stayed the night. It was not a relaxing night.

excellent stay!

easy check-in clean room available tea

Check-in was easy upon my arrival. i got to the hotel at 8:30 pm. the room was clean and warm. This was very nice as it was cold outside. i liked that tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits were available .

the restaurant was supposed to be open, but it was not. i had to go out to find food, and there was nothing available in the village.
