Comfortable stay with minor hiccups

friendly staffbreakfast selectionparking fee
i found the staff very personable and friendly. the breakfast selection had plenty of options to choose from. the room included a comfortable bed and seating area. it was lovely to have lots of natural light.
The parking fee of £12 per night felt a bit unfair, considering i was staying at the hotel. i booked through a third-party site, so i had to pay for it.
Service

i observed quick and helpful responses from staff. there was proactive service in the restaurant. the team was well-managed, especially during busier periods. one could rely on them when needed.

The staff was very attentive and helpful! i really liked that breakfast was good too. the food in the restaurant tasted lovely. I enjoyed the dinner a lot.
I was disappointed to find only one bath towel and one hand towel provided for two guests. plus, i didn't like having to pay extra for parking in the hotel's car park. It cost £12.
