8/10 Good
"If it wasn't for the room, honestly this hotel would get a 2 or a 3. I didn't like the attitude of the staff, the place felt like a cattle market-people everywhere-. I'll give you some staff interaction examples: at breakfast the person that seated me didn't make it clear that it was buffet style so I say there like a Muppet for a while until I realised. Also I paid for my parking and the barrier wouldn't let me out, I went back to the reception desk and my car reg was entered again and the barrier still wouldn't let me out (I witnessed this happen to someone else too) but at no point did anyone apologise, it was all very perfunctory and transactional there was no care and no warmth which all led you to feel that your just a number on a conveyor belt."
