big area attentive staff beautiful menu loose handle temperature gauge bathroom mirror
The pub had a very big area with many TVs and places to sit. The Indian menu was beautiful. It was a jewel (I really enjoyed it). The staff were lovely and very attentive.
The inside door handle was quite loose. I was worried about leaving the room. The shower had no temperature gauge, so it was very hot, and I couldn't change this. I noticed toothpaste on the bathroom mirror. It seemed the room hadn't been cleaned in a while.
