My room was Standard Twin Room Hot. I liked that the bar area had some food options. The breakfast was good, though I thought the bacon was slightly too cooked.

I noticed the cleaning in the shower wasn't great. The tile grout was black in places! I found it impossible to find a spot to sit for breakfast. No staff helped guests to seats.
