excessive light awkward angle
The staff was helpful. They quickly addressed my questions.
The room door let in excessive light from the hallway. I had to use a blanket to block the gap, but a significant space remained. The television was positioned at an awkward angle. the room overlooked a carpark with music blasting late into the night.

breakfast selection ham sandwich
The breakfast buffet lacked selection. there was not much to order aside from toast and porridge without spending extra (i would expect more from a hotel of this calibre). the sandwich my husband ordered from the bar was disappointing. it was literally a slice of ham and cheese between bread. I thought the kitchen could make more effort.
