slow check-insmall room
the check-in process was slow i completed the online form but still waited. i found the lack of draught beer disappointing the pumps were out of action. the staff informed me that last orders were early upon my return. the room size felt quite small despite paying extra for a larger room.

Mixed feelings about this stay
high-quality coffeebroken fridgecold tap
The room had high-quality coffee. There were also free biscuits and fresh milk.
The fridge in our room did not work, SO the milk spoiled quickly, this WAS disappointing. The cold tap also did not work, requiring us to use the shower for cold water. These issues were reported, BUT only the tap got fixed.
