Decent Stay with SOME issues

The spa facilities seemed pretty good, I SUPPOSE.

I found the room to be of an adequate size, BUT the carpet seemed filthy. There was a noticeable damp and musty smell coming from the carpet around the bed. It made sleeping difficult. there was no hand soap or tissues available in the room, I expected such essential amenities.

Comfortable Stay

ample parkinggym machinescomfortable bedthin wall

I found ample parking spaces available. The gym features several machines. There exists a good tea and coffee selection in my room. The bed provided a comfortable sleep. The room was great for my weekend away. The spa provided excellent facilities. The location is outside the town center. Friendly staff was a plus. The food, service, and cleanliness met my standard. Christmas lights were nicely displayed outside the building. This added a festive touch to the stay.

The room walls were thin. I heard conversation from the next room. The shower did not work well. I had to wash in the sink. The room needs tender loving care.

The staff was quite friendly and helpful. I found the breakfast to be nice and the outdoor space was really lovely in the sunshine. The bed was comfortable. It made sleeping good.

The overly warm room lacked air conditioning or a fan. It made sleeping difficult. The bedroom was basic, tired, and in need of a good clean. I saw public walkways looking dirty and needing a good clean too.
