Ok let’s list all the things that our hotel room didn’t have 1)There was no heating switched on when we got there, when I switched it on the temp controls didn’t work well 2) there are only 2 240v sockets in the room and one of them is for the television. No sockets either side of the bed! No usb socket there either. I went to reception and he loaned me an extension lead. This then was a trip hazard in the dark! 3) the bathroom… no hooks behind the the door to hang clothes on. 4) hot water is dangerously hot. 5) shower is in the bath with a curtain, I had a shower and the floor was dangerously wet. Minimum it needs a bath screen and a safety handle to steady you. My wife could t get her leg over the side of the bath to have a shower.! 6) sound insulation.. you can hear people coughing and snoring in the next room. 7) no nightlight in the bathroom. Get up to go to the loo in the night and you have to put the light on. Good location and I could park the car below but had to move it due to the river rising and possible flooding All in all it was like booking into a hotel from the 1970s
