delicious breakfastgood locationfriendly staffinconsistent water flowpoor tv signaloutdated decor
The breakfast included cereal juice a full english breakfast and toast. The location worked well for my travel needs. I found it to be like a home from home.
The hot water for the shower went from hot to cold. The water flow was not consistent. The tv lost signal a lot so it was hard to watch. The decor could use some updating it could be more neutral.

the breakfast was adequate and the seating was fine.
the television was excessively small, barely watchable from the bed. the shower head leaked constantly and water sprayed everywhere. i also noted that the bathroom door did not fit properly, leaving a noticeable gap.
