"Found some dirt and hair clips from past stays around the beds. Windows didn’t seem to lock in room. Door catch would not shut unless you banged the door shut. Safe was broken on arrival and took 3 times over 2 days to get fixed Not told and missed small sign in room about having to ask to get the room cleaned at reception. Think you should be told this upon check in. In the main, minor things. Overall, location was good. Free car parking. Bus stop into town for shops or train was right outside. Didn’t use it but gym looked good. Rooms had everything we needed in them."
