 The hotel was being renovated which gave it a slightly run down appearance The sink in our room was cracked and there was no hair conditioner available in the hotel The television was very small and dated 
 The staff were particularly friendly and helpful It was our 25th wedding anniversary which came out in conversation when we checked in We were surprised and delighted to find a card a bottle of champagne and 2 delicious cakes beautifully presented in our room on the day This was a very thoughtful and kind gesture which would encourage us to pay a return visit
