inadequate heating poor breakfast
The room heating was inadequate on arrival. i had to purchase an extra blanket because the room was very cold. additionally, the breakfast quality was poor. The bacon was too hard to eat easily. these problems detracted from the overall experience i expected.

inadequate lighting limited tea
The cooked breakfast was plentiful and tasty. I found this acceptable.
The room lacked adequate lighting, especially around the mirrors. This made tasks like applying make-up difficult. charging mobile devices required using several extension leads, which i found inconvenient. finally, the only tea bag options were basic brands. I would have expected a wider selection.
