Acceptable Stay with Minor Issues

tasty selection clean area excellent choice small bathroom broken dispenser faulty door

The breakfast offered a tasty selection. There was an excellent choice of food and the area was clean. The staff was efficient, so the experience was fine. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were generally helpful too. This. I had a good selection of options in the dining area.

The bathroom in the room was very small. There was only room for one in the shower. The wall-mounted shower gels had a broken pump dispenser. It was disappointing. My room door did not shut properly. Someone accidentally walked into my room, thinking it was theirs. This was unsettling, but thankfully nothing was taken.
