I was very disappointed with this room. In fact, I wouldn't call it a room, more a space at the end of a small corridor with a double bed squashed in against the curtains. Other than that, that staff were very nice and helpful and the location was fantastic, walking distance from everything in the inner city. Room, terrible. Staff and location, terrific.
