Very disappointed with this stay. My room wasn't serviced after the first night. The rooms are average and lack USB charging (there is a socket on the clock but it is exceptionally slow). Bathroom was fine & there was a bath. Tea and coffee making facilities. I found the pillows very uncomfortable. TV allows casting, but this was problematic and the WiFi was poor. Overal, I was underwhelmed and would not return.
