A Good Visit

I appreciated the prompt room change facilitated by the receptionist upon my early arrival. The room was spacious, with a huge and comfortable bed. The dinner service was informal but of top quality. Breakfast was great, the fruit and croissant option looking very nice, I opted for the full english.
The electric car charge points were slow, and their positioning inconvenient. This did affect my plans slightly.
