convenient location friendly staff breakfast buffet full car park limited spaces unreserved spaces
The location is convenient, near the river. The adjoining bar had friendly staff. The breakfast offered a buffet. This suited my preferences.
The car park filled up quickly. Spaces are first come, first served. I found the lack of reserved spaces inconvenient.

distant parking broken showers
The hotel's location by the river was indeed lovely. finding parking was a real challenge upon arrival. I had to park quite far away. This was inconvenient! The spa access not included in the room price felt a bit off-putting, and several spa facilities were out of service, such as the experience showers, so that dampened the experience.
