Impressed with Room Exchange and Amenities
room exchangeexcellent bedspa showerdifficult process
I accidentally booked a room lacking self-catering kitchen equipment, the staff promptly exchanged it. The beds was superb. The shower was like a spa. It was super nice.
The process to enter the room was difficult, i didn't like the walk via the conference venue. Everything was white creating a boring theme.
