The room had some issues. The orange juice was undrinkable. There was nowhere to sit and eat breakfast except on my lap. That was not ideal. Towels were not very nice.

underwhelming stay

easy locationold furnituredodgy wiring

the location was easy to find, even arriving quite late.

I was very frustrated by the state of the room. The furniture felt old and mismatched. the electrical wiring seemed dodgy, and i noticed the sliding shower door didn't work properly. getting a stable wifi connection or decent tv signal was a struggle for the first few days of my stay.

convenient locationmarked carpetsbroken radiator

The location was very near the airport which was convenient.

The room felt quite dated. I found threadbare marked carpets throughout the room. Some radiators did not work so it was a bit cold.
