adequate locationinconsistent supplylate servicing
The location proved quite adequate , and the staff seemed willing to assist when needed.
The room advertised as a 'Large Double Room River View' felt notably small , certainly not what I expected. The supply of complimentary water was inconsistent . I received only one bottle during my three-night stay. Servicing of the room occurred haphazardly and late each day , causing some inconvenience.
