Curate’s egg. Good in parts!

Just a pity that no water came out of the bath/shower! Not a lot of sound insulation! And quite a lot of sounds throughout the night and early morning. I think you should warn folk that their window is 3 feet away from the staff accommodation. At several stages I thought there were people actually in my room! Service and general facilities excellent however.

I quite liked the rooms and comfort of the place. WIFI needs massive improvement. The walls were thin and with people talking outside it got super noisy, especially as there was an ashtray near my window.
