helpful staff clean room thin shower uncomfortable gap
the reception staff were helpful and efficient. the room was clean and warm. free wifi worked reliably, providing great connectivity.
the shower gel was thin. the double bed was two twins put together, with an uncomfortable gap between. there was some sort of red stain on the bath. there was zero sound proofing in the room, so i could hear music being played loudly.
