"The room was a little dated but was clean and fairly spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The internet was a problem, however - too many people trying to get on meant we could hardly ever log on at all except first thing in the morning."

"My wife and I enjoyed the location and atmosphere. The only negative thing that I can say was that the QR code for access to parking and the doors of the building, wasn’t given in the email like it was supposed to be. Nonetheless, when we reached out to the support team, it was handled quickly."
