acceptable stay, but issues noted

small bathroom early breakfast
the room was clean upon arrival, which met basic expectations.
I found the bathroom to be quite small. Showering felt cramped. the lack of a proper wardrobe, with only wooden pegs provided, was inconvenient. breakfast finishing at 9.30 am felt too early, especially considering checkout was at 10.00 am. This limited the time for a relaxed morning.

The room was lovely! It included a roll top bath and a modern shower room. The bed was very comfortable, and the bedding was high quality. Dinner was delicious, and the pizzas were great. I also enjoyed the sides.
My room had water marks on the wall. The kettle was full of limescale, so I did not use it. The fire alarm went off at 1:30 am. I knew it was not the fault of the hotel because a guest decided to vape in their room. the staff did not mention or apologize the following morning.
