The room was a bit dated. The furniture looked like it had seen better days. i also found the bathroom quite small. the cleaning wasn't consistent either. I noticed a few areas that seemed overlooked, which wasn't ideal. the breakfast was ok, though the selection of hot items could be expanded.

The room was tidy.
It woke me at night. The shower was very small and adjusting the temperature was awkward due to the old design.
