the staff assisted me well with my late arrival. the bathroom was a good size. i found a convenient hot drinks station in the room. the water pressure in the shower was great.
the main issue was the general information that stated rooms are soundproofed. i found this to be untrue as it was quite noisy. the window in my room had a crack.
