No air-conditioning

This is my forth stay i do like it however this time we went when it was hot summers day. Room was absolutely hot feels like i was in Arab country. Could not open the windows, only had a little cheap fan too cool you down was absolutely useless throwing hot air . I have stayed in lot cheaper hotel with air-conditioning as standard i think they need too invest a little in air-conditioning had sleeplessness night did not enjoyed my stay this time round i would off given excellent in stay if they did have air-conditioning. Please do not let that put you off your stay apart from that every thing was good. Would i stay again absolutely only incooler month's.

Wifi dropped out, went to use table lamp didn't work, in morning went to use hair dryer didn't work. Of course they would have changed my room, but at the time I was in the middle of things and it wasn't practical to do so. Receptionist dealt with these issues in morning like a champ, and didn't fob me off. Will return. Hopefully housekeeping will check stuff properly (it's part of their job after all). They are a really nice hotel staff wise, but can drop the ball from time to time. Breakfast has got better as they actually remember to dish out the vegetables sausages that are pre ordered the night before. I did naff when I saw someone set toaster on fire by toasting a croissant. They obviously hadn't stayed before - the croissants used to be on the warm plate side - and well warm and quite nice. Now they cook them all early put them on cold side and they are like cold lumps of bread. I'm sure a group of French visitors would actually riot about the state of the croissants. It's not hard to sort these daft issues and I keep hoping they are really going to get it together. But the car park next door is £1.50 for 24hrs and rooms are clean and decent and cheap. If they sort everything, I gies they'd be rammed all the time so careful what I wish for I reckon .......
