Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
The room was in good condition and clean. There were 3 main issues with the room: 1. The duvet was a very thin summer duvet even though we're in the middle of December! This made it harder to stay warm overnight 2. The AC unit was very loud (even when off) - humming continuously and making loud noises at random times, which was very annoying and hard to sleep through 3. The front door and wall were so thin you could very clearly hear all the noises through the corridor - especially as my room was right next to the doors, it was very noisy every time anyone walked through. I got woken up from this in the night and early morninh
