David

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Room comfort
a double bed in a hotel should typically be accessible from both sides for guest convenience, with space to get in and out from each side, even if the bed isn't a king-size. For the best guest experience and comfort, especially for couples, there should be enough room for two people to enter and exit the bed easily without having to climb over each other or a wall, which can be a problem with a double bed if it's placed too tightly against a wall. There was also a step between room and bathroom was very dangerous in dark at night so had to leave light on. Tv didn't work. control needed new batteries which once in bed wasn't an option as far as we were concerned I had to climb over my wife 3 times during the night who has mobility issues waking her to use the bathroom which made our stay very uncomfortable

We booked a snug room which was indeed snug (one side of the bed is right next to the wall) but very comfortable and beautifully decorated with lovely chocolates!
