A balanced experience

friendly staffcomfortable bedpoor standardextreme shower
I found the staff very friendly and helpful. Brian was especially useful during check-in. The rooms were also quite lovely , and the bed was comfortable.
The room was of poor standard compared to others I have stayed in. The shower was not good quality , and at one point , I burnt myself because it went from hot to extreme.

small bathroomthin walls
the room felt cramped especially the bathroom. i could hear everything happening in the adjacent rooms. thin walls meant i was privy to my neighbor's questionable tv choices and late-night phone calls it was less than ideal for a peaceful night's sleep.
