old shower head inconvenient sink
The staff were friendly and helpful so I didn't feel totally robbed.
The bathroom looked ancient. I couldn't believe the old shower head and shower curtain. The sink was behind the door, and if I didn't close it fully, it bumped me all the time. It was a Valentines weekend and not even a chocolate bar was there, just two bottles of water.

grateful for a clean and well-located stay
friendly staff excellent sensory room
i stayed for several nights, and i must say the staff were very friendly. the breakfast and evening meals had nice value. i found the sensory room excellent. i am also grateful the hotel was clean.
i requested extra pillows one evening, and there was a delay in their arrival. this was a bit inconvenient, especially since my child was already asleep. i was still a little worried, because the night porter opened our door and did not close it properly.
