The room i had felt quite dated (and in need of some serious refurbishment). the shower was particularly annoying. The water pressure was very weak. also, the bed was far from comfortable, and i could feel every spring. it.

The bathroom really disappointed me. I saw dark green sticky lino and bare pipes. The shower had low pressure. The whole fitting came out when I tried to adjust the shower head. The toilet seat slipped sideways. I was also unable to charge my phone by the bed because of the lack of outlets. These problems affected my overall comfort .
