adequate stay.

friendly staffchange arrangementgood varietycreaking bednoise issuesleep disturbance
the staff were very friendly. they arranged a change of room for me the next day. breakfast in the kitchen room was self-service. there was a good variety of cereals, fruit, bread, butter, eggs and cheese.
the bed creaked a lot. it made a lot OF noise even when i turned lightly. this kept me awake, so much so that i actually tried to sleep on the floor from 5am. THE hotel would have scored a lot higher if not for that.

cereal availabilitydipped middlecupboard slam
the self-catering breakfast setup had a nice touch with cereal available, i guess.
The bed had some kind of topper mattress situation, and i swear it dipped right in the middle. my back protested the entire night. also, i heard every single cupboard slam in the shared kitchen next door. Sounded like a cooking show at midnight. not ideal when you're trying to sleep.
