I loved that my room was a good size and very clean. staff were very friendly and helpful . attending a gig at the venue was so convenient. I just went upstairs when it was done. the self-service breakfast in the kitchenette was a nice touch, i found it so convenient!
the sockets for the bedside lamps were inaccessible because they were behind the bed. i was woken twice by loud people passing my door.
