lovely, quiet stay

gym discount complimentary waters
the gym discount was beneficial, providing access to a large gym three blocks away for just five pounds. the hotel also has sky sports on tv, a definite bonus to watch live games. i also found heated towel racks and complimentary waters a plus.
I was disappointed the hotel lacked facilities. It may not suit guests wanting comprehensive amenities. the absence might deter some, even though the hotel's quietness suits relaxation.

The bar showcases photos of movie stars from past eras. it creates a charming atmosphere for enjoying various drinks, and the food quality is commendable. the minimal menu selection might limit choices for some, which isn't ideal.
