some issues need fixing

damp bathroom uninterested staff
the bathroom was a big letdown. its so damp, the walls were wet and toilet paper was unusable. i reported this to the desk, but they seemed uninterested and said theyd tell the boss, again. feels like they are not fixing the root cause.

dog friendly room cute staff excellent breakfast
The triple dog friendly room was good. the staff were cute. i liked the box of items for my dog, it was a nice touch. breakfast was also very good with an excellent continental selection. It was easy to decide in the morning if i wanted it.
The hotel has a change of ownership and does not serve alcohol or pork products. this was disappointing. I was not told about this change when i booked.
