central locationclean roomconvenient parkingcold bathroompoor pressuresoft mattress

The room was large. It was clean and located centrally. Car parking was convenient.

The bathroom was very cold. The water pressure in the shower was poor and there was no hot water from the tap on the hand basin. The mattress provided little support and was uncomfortable.
