Hotel was surprisingly quiet for its location next to A12 with plenty of parking. Rooms comfortable, well equipped clean and tidy, staff all friendly and helpful. Upon entering reception the hand gel dispenser was empty, when I pointed this out to receptionist she said yes she knew and was going to fill it up, 2 hrs later still empty. Several others around the hotel around lift/stairs were also empty which let them down on the first weekend opening since lockdown. Breakfast was very crowded and food OK, usually buffet so weren’t geared up for serving but they were doing their best.
