Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
The room was clean but the window seems single glaze and the noise from traffic made it impossible to sleep. I wasn’t told it was an accessibility room so no bathroom shelving. Was also told that breakfast is till 11:30. I questioned this and it was confirmed . I went down after 10 to find them clearing up!
