Acceptable Hotel for a Short Visit

good locationhelpful staffinsufficient heatingpoor hospitality
The location was convenient. It was close to the train station. The breakfast had a good selection of items. The staff at breakfast were pleasant and helpful.
The bedroom lacked sufficient heating. The hotel provided a small oil radiator, but it was inadequate for the room size. They did not acknowledge my complaint at all. I found this a bad reflection on hospitality.
