basic stay with some drawbacks

odd layout noisy room
true
I found the room layout quite odd. there wasn't much space to store my luggage. the noise was a real issue. I was in a room under some kind of a/c unit. it sounded like a helicopter and made sleep difficult. it seemed no one checked the noise issue before assigning the room to someone else.

Decent Stay with Minor Issues

warm facilities great location large room corridor light limited choice self-service drinks
The room was quite large. It had warm facilities that worked well. The hot tub was wonderful. I really enjoyed it after a long day. The location is great for walking or catching a local bus. (I used both!).
The room faced a corridor, so light was on all night. The breakfast didn't have drinks in self-service. I thought it was odd. There was a limited selection of food during breakfast. I wished there were more options to choose from.
