Starling Cloud, Aberystwyth by Marston’s Inns

Starling Cloud, Aberystwyth by Marston’s Inns

8/10 Good
"Good amount of parking. room was clean and large enough (room 15) There was no noise from other residents and the room was warm enough. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was big enough. We only had a few issues: 1. The room smelt of smoke, which is not great for non-smokers. 2. We arrived slightly early and asked if there was any opportunity to either get into the room then or if we could ensure that we could put our things in the room just before 2pm, as we had a lunch meeting for 2.15pm elsewhere. There was no attempt to accommodate this, and the staff member bluntly said 2pm was the earliest. I am sure just 15 mins earlier would have been possible in the circumstances. Outside of these two issues we enjoyed our stay."
