Loved the clean room, it was well-appointed. The bed was firm with good linens. There were tea making facilities and usb charging points. I appreciated the clever use of space, particularly in the bathroom. The shower was great, it had hot water and good pressure.

The wifi was sub-standard at best during peak hours. It made it slightly difficult to stream videos.
