Hotel excellence.
This is what a hotel should be like which attracts repeat business. Immaculately clean, excellent decor, good wifi, warm welcome from owner who cares about customers. A significantly better experience than my hotel the night before in Shrewsbury, which i have slated accordingly because there was nothing good about that terrible experience.
