Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was quite large with a TV and a very comfortable bed. There is a communal kitchen with tea and coffee. I felt very safe there. On the bad side people were coming in at midnight and were closing doors noisily. There was another floor above and I was woken by the person in that room walking about, so I got little sleep. But it was OK for 1 night.
