The hotel location was very helpful to my travel plans! It was near many transport links. The room provided a mini fridge. I had a good sleep.
I was told it was fully booked, but it was empty when I arrived. I requested soup, cheese, and biscuits at 21:00, only to find out they were unavailable. My cake arrived with melted ice cream.
