Surprising Hotel Stay

friendly staffwarm poolpleasant smelllong waits
The bus stop was near, route number six took me downtown. I found the staff was friendly, both at reception and in the leisure suite. The pool felt nice and warm. fresh towels are available there. I noticed a pleasant smell throughout the building, and the rooms stay warm.
I noted the car park. There was long waits to exit the car park because customers or tradesmen didn't have tickets for the barrier. I think there should be a quick method to get out.
Service
9/10
Reception staff were quite helpful and very attentive. Every staff member that I passed would smile and said hello. I enjoyed the friendliness and approachability of all staff.
Dining
8/10
Breakfast had a competitive price and tasted good. The restaurant staff provided excellent service during meals. I would like to see a grilled chicken option available. The overall food quality met my expectations.

The hotel room included a fridge and water. I noted fresh fruit was available in the lobby daily. It added a touch of convenience.
The shower drain seemed a bit blocked, causing slight flooding.

the room was clean and quiet. the facilities seemed well kept and modern. the location is good, just outside the city centre. you need a car to reach a park-and-ride.
I noticed some laundry on the landing. It should ideally be in a cupboard.
