"The room was very clean and functional, if not large. I was disappointed to be on the ground floor so it was very dark and maintenance staff was working outside the window, but the location is fantastic. A great farmer’s market on Saturday mornings is just around the corner, totally worth a stroll, and the trolley is also close."
