small room missing balcony
the room was very comfy and tidy. the shower was strong and powerful which i loved.
The room i booked turned out to be smaller than i imagined. the lack of a balcony was a real letdown. I had expected one. it was more basic than i anticipated for the price i paid.

a satisfactory stay

lovely staff great bedroom little extras firm mattress noisy beer garden missing fruit
the staff were really lovely. the bedroom i stayed in was great. i noticed lots of little extras in the room.
the mattress felt firm, this affected my sleep quality. the room overlooked the beer garden so it was very noisy until late. the breakfast was not good, they ran out of fruit.

traffic noise different room
the staff catered to my dietary needs, and there were plenty of options available.
the room faced the road and the traffic noise bothered me at night. the noise stopped after 11pm, but it was still an issue. i wish i had known this before, maybe i would have asked for a different room.
