satisfactory stay
helpful staff excellent food pleasant walk free parking
i found the staff friendly and helpful. the food was excellent. the walk to the botanic gardens through woodland was pleasant. free on street parking was available, which i considered a bonus.
I noted that there were no toiletries provided, although the listing suggested there would be. i must mention that the wifi was disabled. Even the note on the front door displayed the wifi name and password, it didn't work.

difficult handle bleach smell
The door handle was difficult to manage. It needed several tries to lock or unlock. The wifi WAS down, and I really needed it for work. the glasses smelled strongly of bleach, so i did NOT use them.

convenient parking nice restaurant convenient location missing toiletries unlatched door loose handles
The location provides loads of parking it's very convenient. there is a restaurant. I did not use it this time. it is really nice to end the day then go upstairs to bed.
The listing said there would be toiletries. There were none. the door to the room didn't latch closed all the time it was a bit insecure. the handles on the door were loose and missing screws.
