high gates emergency number
the high gates were locked, and i didn't receive the code. the emergency number wasn't answered when i called for assistance. the local police ended up helping me over the gates, which i consider a security issue. the locked gates in the morning also reminded me of a fire risk.

mixed feelings on the room
wrapped pastry fan noise
the hotel location is central and proved convenient for accessing nearby areas.
the breakfast arrangement were quite disappointing as it just had a wrapped pastry and a biscuit. lights from the door and windows penetrated into the room and it made it difficult to have darkness. additionally, the proximity to the pub kitchen caused fan noise late at night.
