Acceptable Stay Despite Some Issues
noisy room inconvenient mirror
The location was convenient (close to the train station).
The room I received was quite noisy, and I could clearly hear the lifts operating throughout the night. This made it difficult to sleep well. there was no mirror near a socket. Drying my hair was a real hassle as a result.
