the room had lots of plug points for charging devices.
the breakfast was not good at all. food was not replenished promptly so there were long waits. when i asked for vegetarian options at 9:45 am, i was told breakfast time was ending. this is unacceptable for a hotel that charges a premium.

the accessible room was not what i expected. i didn't ask for it, and the low sink was awkward to use.. it made washing up difficult. plus, i noticed some brown stains on the carpet and suspicious marks on the couch, not a great look. the kettle didn't work and the hairdryer gave off a burning smell before quitting.
