ground floor roomfood selectionhelpful staffsurface pipesuncomfortable bedhot room
The ground floor room eliminated the need for a lift. The check-in times were accommodating, from 2 PM to 9 PM. A wide selection of food options was available. I found the staff helpful.
The heating pipes ran on the surface around the room. The radiators were turned off, the room was too hot. The bed was not comfortable I experienced one of the worst nights' sleep.

The staff was friendly. They were always willing to help us enjoy our stay. We played great games of pool. The hotel's Connect Four set was fun, too. We were pleased to watch the football as it was the beginning of the season. The food we ordered arrived promptly and tasted good. I liked the good choice of beers, as well.
The room felt cold. The heating did not come on until 5 pm. The bed was really uncomfortable. A restful sleep was impossible. The room was draughty because I could not close the window properly.
