The room was clean and the staff helpful. My room was noisy and I'm not sure why. Some noises came from outside. I was on the 6th floor. There was a sound of water running in the bathroom constantly. It would be helpful if the TV could be swivelled so I could see it from the armchair rather than sitting on the bed.
