clean room bottled water friendly staff early breakfast plastic pillows thin pillows
The room was very clean. I liked the tissues, bottled water and fridge in the room (those were nice touches!). The check in staff were friendly and helpful.
The breakfast finishes too early. It ends at 8:30 most days. I also found the pillows were plastic covered (they were very thin).

Average Stay with Some Issues
double charge erroneous debit
The room had a mini-fridge, a somewhat welcome amenity.
I found the double charge issue unsettling. Staff could not resolve it, that was annoying. I had to contact my bank to cancel the erroneous debit.
