taped signs dusty surfaces
I was a bit disappointed. The bar closed a half hour earlier than advertised. This was annoying. The room also needed more attention to detail. I saw signs taped over the windows, and dust was present on higher surfaces. I think these small fixes would vastly improve the experience.

adequate stay with some issues
dusty surfaces makeshift solution
the location was convenient and met my needs for proximity to local venues
i found the room's condition lacking the cleanliness was not up to standard as i noticed dust on multiple surfaces i also observed tape used as a makeshift solution on the windows which detracted from the room's overall appeal and the shower had inconsistent water temperature regulation

modern room matching bedding
the rooms were modern. the decor and matching bedding featured a sheep theme. the ensuite was spacious and clean. i enjoyed the large screen tv, and tea and coffee supplies were available in the room (a nice touch!).
the bed mattress needs replacing. i noticed it was very uneven, likely from guests sitting on it while watching tv.
