Excellent Stay

amazing soaps helpful staff extensive choice
The room had amazing soaps and lotions provided . These were pleasurable to use. The hotel's position allowed for easy exploration of interesting sights. Check-in staff was consistently helpful throughout the stay. Breakfast offered an extensive choice and was presented beautifully.
I found the room to be a little disappointing. Having booked a Superior Double, the decor looked quite worn with scuffed paint around the room and furniture.

Underwhelming stay. Some issues

unpleasant odor damaged wardrobe
the location was quite central, made getting around straightforward.
I found the room itself disappointing. It didn't smell fresh. there were cobwebs on the ceiling above the bed, something i really noticed. the bathroom had an unpleasant odor, and i suspect the bed linen wasn't as clean as it could have been. the wardrobe doors were also chipped and damaged.

The room included various amenities. A central location made exploring convenient. The breakfast offered an extensive choice. It was presented beautifully.
My room had scuffed paint all around. It did not feel as special as I hoped. You could hear doors banging a lot at night. The room lacked charm since it was not in the historic building.
