The room included a huge dressing table and a mirror for hair and makeup!!! There were many door hooks for hanging jackets, also loads of hangers. I found loads of plugs for charging gadgets.

The water wasn't hot in the sink.

The room was spacious and clean. It had everything i needed for a short stay.

I found it very difficult to get a good night's sleep as the bed was hard and noisy. Every movement caused it to creak, i was constantly waking up. this significantly detracted from my stay. I was hoping for a comfortable, relaxing experience.
