Acceptable, But Room for Improvement

easy accessthin wallsslamming doors
The location was decent for what I needed , offering easy access to the main roads.
The noise level was bothersome at night , I could hear other guests through the thin walls and the slamming of doors. The experience was not conducive to a restful night.

Fantastic stay at riverside hotel

useful facilitiesclean roomsuperb bed linenpeaceful atmosphere
The family room offered plenty of space and useful facilities. The room was very clean, which i found important for a relaxed stay. I was happy with the superb bed linen that added a touch of luxury. The location was quite rural (more than I expected) adding to the peaceful atmosphere.
There were only two plug sockets in the room, made charging multiple devices a little inconvenient.

Ample parking was available. It made arrival stress-free. the restaurant adjacent to the hotel was very convenient! though breakfast was excellent.
the room thermostat seemed to only increase the heat! only a small fan provided offered minimal relief, the doors to the rooms slam shut, so we we kept awake and woken up a lot by inconsiderate people staying at the hotel.
