Acceptable Location, Disappointing Experience
ideal locationdog smellno cleaning
The location was ideal. It was close to many places I wanted to visit.
My room smelled strongly of dogs, I suspect a previous guest brought one. The room was not cleaned during my 4-night stay. I was told cleaning is not provided as this is a budget hotel, I was surprised by this.

The breakfast buffet included a plentiful selection of cooked items. i found the beds to be very comfortable. My room was quiet. THE shower was super!
getting out of the car park safely was difficult, due to the exit being on a steep bend.

Really good Service and Convenient Location
friendly staffbig liftlarge bathroomparking charge
The staff was very friendly, showing us the ramp access and lift. The lift was big enough for a person and a fold-up wheelchair. My allocated room was near the lift. It had plenty of space. The bed was great to sleep on. The bathroom was large. there was a beautiful view of the lake.
The hotel charges guests £6 per day for parking. I think a simple key fob and barrier gate could resolve this issue.

The location was good. It was right across from the train station.
There was no hot water the morning i checked out. A cold shower before a long drive home was not ideal. i asked for the manager, but the receptionist said she wasn't in today. That was the end of that.
