Salisbury in the summer
No toilet brush in bathroom and no shelf to put toiletries on. Toiletries were
Put a little stool next to toilet. Overall cleanliness good however very grubby round plug point where kettle tray is. Not much room on dressing table - a freestanding small chest of drawers with hospitality tray on would have been good.
Staff nice.
I upgraded to River Room - however thought it was a bit expensive overall.
