The room had modern and clean equipment. The bed was very comfortable.
My room was unfortunately next to the laundry room, I quickly discovered. A persistent alarm went off from midnight until around 8 a.m. (I assume the noise came from the laundry room). Breakfast was alright but the floor around my table had debris from previous guests.
