Satisfactory City Centre Stay

good breakfastpool sizeold furniturecarpet stain
The hotel had a leisure centre. The pool was a good size. I also found the breakfast selection quite good. It included both hot and cold items.
The room felt quite dated. The furniture was old and worn. I also noticed some stains on the carpet. This made the room look less appealing.

Acceptable stay with SOME ISSUES

inconvenient showerwarm room
The room was quite warm, even with the radiator off and the window open. It made sleeping somewhat UNPLEASANT. the shower design was not ideal. I had to climb into the bath to use it, which wasn't very convenient (especially after a long day).

The onsite parking spaces were tight, and my car was damaged. The staff was helpful and provided CCTV. I contacted Gardi to resolve it. Breakfast was available but seemed to have been out for a while. I asked for poached eggs, but they were runny, not to my liking.
