pleasant stay

clean roomlovely drinkgreat servicestaff training
the room was clean and well-provided. the canapés and drinks at the start of the evening were lovely (i really enjoyed the selection). the dinner had great service. the band kept everyone dancing, and lots of photos were shared after the event.
i understand that budget hotels don't attract top staff, but the front of house team needs further training.

Adequate stay overall

tidy roomtea availabilityplentiful breakfastnarrow bedhard pillowmissing handle
The room was quite tidy. I also appreciated the availability of tea and coffee in the room. The breakfast was plentiful, a GOOD way to start the day.
Our double bed felt narrow and not the most comfortable. The flat, hard pillows did NOT promote good sleep. I noticed a missing handle to hold when exiting the shower. This seemed a bit dangerous.

The room had a coffee machine. It provided both coffee and tea.
The high tea significantly increased in price. I expected improvement in quality to justify the increase, but it was the same. There was no filter decaf coffee. They only provided hot water and two sachets..
