Excellent research stay

helpful staffspacious showerexcellent wifiacceptable food
The reception staff upgraded my room to a single bedroom it suited my needs better. The room included a writing desk and a spacious shower. The wifi worked excellently and that was essential for my purposes. The restaurant staff was accommodating and the food was acceptable.
I do wish the coffee machine included instructions I figured it out after a couple of attempts.
