Adequate Stay, but Some Issues

good breakfasthelpful staffclean spacracked framepoor signalfirm bed
The breakfast was a highlight of my stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the hotel. I found the spa facilities good value, especially since they were clean.
The window in my room would not close completely. I found a crack in the frame. The TV signal was very poor. I could not watch anything to relax in the evening. The bed was very firm. It seemed like sleeping on the floor.

The reception staff was friendly and helpful. The location is near a pub. I appreciate the excellent service and convenient facilities. Maz assisted in sorting out my room information and made me ready for my travels the next day.
The hotel charged a £50 refundable deposit. This policy applied because of my home address. The receptionist was not helpful and rude. There was also no soap available in the bathroom.
