Balanced stay
early car leaving deep couch perfect room temperature large bed base sticking wires hotel tlc
I could leave my car early. I returned later for check in. The room had a perfect temperature. The spacious room includes a deep couch.
The bed base was too large. The mattress did not fit. Wires stuck out of the wall. The hotel badly needs tlc.

A Romantic Weekend Getaway
warm greeting charming decor genuine warmth thoughtful selection
I celebrated a special anniversary weekend. The receptionist warmly greeted us and clearly explained the parking. The décor was like a grand London hotel, exuding charm and a good fragrance. I appreciated the thoughtful selection of background music. The staff exhibited genuine warmth.
The mini cups for coffee were a tad small. Hot chocolate sachets filled over half the cup, restricting the water content.

The hotel featured a good afternoon tea, and it was as good as those in top London hotels! I found the staff attentive and not at all stuffy. Breakfast featured tasty dishes, I noticed it was prepared with high-quality products.
