the shower had some issues with temperature control. it fluctuated between cold and hot temperatures. a more consistent water temperature would improve the shower experience.

I found the bedside table space spacious. Conveniently placed bedside plug sockets were a great feature. I noticed plenty of coat hooks in the room and en suite. This was really helpful. The television was quite large, which I enjoyed, and i slept well.
The bathroom floor had some staining. It looked dirty. I checked, and the surface was actually clean.

The staff was very cute and friendly. Breakfast was excellent and filling, a really good start to the day. I felt very comfortable in my room and the beds were clean. I also appreciated the ample supply of towels.
The room faced a busy main road and was noisy. It was difficult to leave the window open because of the noise. This also made the room quite hot and stuffy. There was no air conditioning.
