Woken by a fading in daylight feature.
My one complaint is about the light in the ceiling that fades on as the sun rises. The room I chose had no windows - I thought that would mean it is a good dark room (apart from the usual small coloured light to indicate the exit). But there was a large light in the ceiling that faded lighter and lighter in the morning. Unlike light from outside windows, it didn’t have an option to close a curtain on it. I was woken by the light at 5:50am and it just got brighter from there.
This was the first time I realised why they had provided an eye mask on the pillow. But opening that up and putting it on only woke me up further.
I dont know if there was a way to disable it - I couldn’t see any switches and there wasn’t any info in the room. I checked in late with a security guard so also don’t know if info would usually be given on checking in.
All other things about my stay were excellent. Staff friendly. Bed comfortable (firm, which is what I prefer), decent pillows, good linen, nice toiletries. The cafe nearby did a good breakfast (not included) and the curry place next door smelled good when I arrived, but I had already eaten so cannot comment further.
If you consider a windowless room here, I would ask about the ceiling daylight feature first and check it can be disabled if the light is likely to disturb you. Or make use of the eye mask if you won’t find it uncomfortable.
My photos show the light at 5:50am and at 8am with no other lights on in the room.
