a rather uneven stay
room cleanliness poor value
i found a few things less than excellent. the room was not very clean and the value for money was really off, i think. it seemed like i was paying a premium for something that didn't quite measure up to the cost. a bit more attention to detail would make a big difference.

missing glasses dirty shower head
the location was good for walking. the staff was friendly during check-in.
the room lacked glasses. there were only cups for hot drinks provided, and i expected tumblers for water and wine. the shower was more of a trickle and its head was dirty, rather outdated. i expected a power shower.

Fantastic Stay!
parking space quirky vibe helpful staff
I really liked that parking space! I booked it in advance, and it was so worth it, especially since on-street parking looked super busy. The hotel had a quirky vibe. I found it appealing. The staff were very helpful!
I noticed the bedroom carpet needed a quick vacuum.
Facilities

The hotel featured a stylishly decorated reception area and bar. It gave the place a cozy feel even though the building was considerably large and old. I saw plenty of space in the public areas. There were huge sofas with gentle lighting for unwinding, and socializing was easy.

Staff members are very friendly. I felt they were attentive. I felt taken care of, and they assisted with luggage storage, which proved useful because I arrived earlier than scheduled. It.

Regal Rooms and Great Value
airy room beautiful building front parking streaming app
The room I got was big and airy. The building outside is beautiful, and the interiors look regal. I liked that the front door parking was ten quid a day. A large Samsung TV with streaming apps was great.
The room I stayed in felt a bit expensive at £150 a night.
