a mixed bag, i suppose

faulty shower door dim bathroom lighting
Honestly. The bathroom was a bit of a letdown. the shower door didn't quite close properly. this meant water ended up everywhere after each shower. also, the lighting was so dim, i could barely see myself in the mirror. it reminded me of showering in a cave. 'the fan looked pretty battered, and sounded like a tin can full of rocks.

the location is VERY convenient. The staff was helpful with directions. The breakfast was great (especially the scrambled eggs!). The provided tea-making facilities in the room were a VERY welcome touch.

Acceptable, but with Issues

The city center location was useful.
I found a few things weren't right. There was no mirror in the bathroom, and the toilet roll holder was also missing. It looked like they are using parts from other rooms to keep things running.
