Philip J, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice for an overnight stay.

Stayed for 1 night. Arrived an hour prior to check in but reception desk was closed with note saying to speak to restaurant staff. Lady advised we were early so to come back in an hour. I agreed we were early but just needed to know where the car park was. She returned with manager who was very accommodating, enabling us to park and check in despite room not being quite ready. He showed us the room and we agreed to return when ready. Room was large and comfortable but lacked any form of air con. A portable heater was provided with the cleaning lady advising where additional blankets were as the previous night had been very cold. Only downside was the shower that had no pressure and limited flow. Heater was left on all night in order to keep the room comfortable. Continental breakfast was provided with choice of cereal, coffee and toast. Check out went fine and manager was great in letting us keep the car there until early afternoon. Overall the stay was fine, but the shower let it down.
