clean room comfy rooms helpful response bedroom window slight disappointment cohesion absence
the room was clean. i found comfy rooms and a very helpful response when i arrived early before a funeral. i could change, leave my bags and take keys for a late return.
the bedroom window wouldn't open. i understand the h & s implications of this. we were however provided with a fan. breakfast was slightly disappointing. continental is fine but there was no cohesion to the offering.

lovely staff complimentary cookies
the staff was lovely there. the complimentary cookies i got was a nice touch on arrival. the breakfast had great drip coffee and good components, though minimalistic.
my bedroom window would not open at all. i understand the health and safety implications. a slight opening would have been nice on a very warm night.

this setup hadn't been separated as requested. i also found dust on units and cups which was not great. there was no milk available for coffee in the room.
