A pleasant long weekend, but...

Liked: 1. Check in went smoothly.2. Simon in front desk was very friendly and helpful.3. Room keys have a chip instead of a magnetic strip, so you don't need to worry about keeping them away from your phone.4. The room was spacious and it was nice to have somewhere to sit and eat or watch telly other than on the bed!5. The grounds and landscaping were very pleasant.6. Public areas indoors were very spacious with lots of lovely natural light.7. The location was quiet, so I was able to sleep well without noise from outside, or from other residents.8. Plenty of parking, f.o.c. although I imagine it gets busy when there's a event on at the location.9. Breakfast is the same price regardless of whether you pay on the day or book in advance.10. Reasonably priced "out of hours" menu.11. LaVazza coffee available in the foyer from a vending machine (my favourite brand!)
Disliked: 1. The beetle infestation in our room! Four, large, black flying beetles. No idea where they came from (flew in, maybe?)2. Not enough power points. Double power point in the desk, one of which didn't work, double power point below the TV - only one socket available if you wanted the lamp on. Two other, single sockets - one behind the bed and didn't work anyway. Not possible for us both to charge our phones / laptops simultaneously without unplugging something else, like the kettle or the fan). Not a massive issue, I grant you, but unexpected and inconvenient in this day and age. 3. No reading light on my side of the bed - wouldn't have been able to plug it in if there was!4. No light switch on my side of the bed5. No air conditioning, although the free-standing fan in the room did provide some relief from the heat. Had to unplug the kettle to be able to use it though (see point 2!)6. Was never really sure if the bar was open - it rarely looked it!7. Vending machine didn't appear to do decaf.
