the room was a good size. the bed, a double ensuite, ensured a restful night. i found bottled water and biscuits in my room, a welcome touch after my travels. the staff were helpful when i needed directions (i always get turned around!).
My room had single glazed windows. this meant some noise from the bar below did filter through. the bathroom door was a bit tricky. It didn't want to shut properly. i also noticed some damp patches on the walls and ceiling (a bit concerning, honestly).

The building had a beautiful architectural design. Free parking was available . The staff members were friendly and helpful.
The room was cold upon arrival. The noise from the bar persisted till late. There was no electricity in our room in the morning, so I skipped having a shower.
