My daughter and I enjoyed our stay! No issues getting too and from, checking in, and such. Only issue we had that I believe I did see in another room, was the smell of the bathroom (or so I think)… it does sort of “go away” when staying in the room, but when using the bathroom or entering the room again, it was hard to adjust too. We only stayed one night, but might have looked to change rooms (#2) if we had stayed longer.

Clean room, straightforward access instructions, excellent nights sleep. The cupboard that contains the kettle/coffee maker could really use a light - it’s very dark and the radiators need bleeding.
