working desk helpful staff faulty shower door confusing charge

The room included a good working desk. Staff were very friendly and helpful at all hours, I found that to be useful.

The shower door would not fully close. I had to be careful to avoid spraying water. Parking charges were confusing. I was not sure what I would be charged if I left and came back later that same day.
