sealed window impersonal service
the breakfast was good, and i liked the location near the city center.
The room was much too warm, even with the fan going all night. the sealed window didn't help. also, the service felt impersonal. It was like a budget hotel experience.

breakfast menu fresh ingredients comfortable bed fantastic shower loud fan lighter duvet no milk
the breakfast menu had fresh ingredients. holly and her attentive tea served it all. the gurney suite was presented beautifully. no detail had been overlooked. the bed was very comfortable. the shower was fantastic.
the fan provided in the room is loud, so i couldn't sleep with it on. rooms get hot, and a lighter duvet would have been nice. no long-life milk was provided with the tea and coffee in the room. it would be nice if maps were provided.
