The room had all expected amenities. i was very glad they use dispensers, not wasteful single use tubes. the decor was nice. Clearly someone put thought into it. the bed was very comfortable (i slept like a log!).
My room overlooked the bins. They were used past 10pm and as early as 6am. it woke me up early both nights.
