the room included a mini-fridge and convenient tea and coffee facilities with top-ups available. parking was a bonus, I found free on-street parking nearby too. the room felt very spacious and provided a comfortable night's sleep. it had a mini fridge.
I noticed the walls could possibly use a fresh coat of paint. It's a very minor detail though.

the bed was comfy enough, i guess. it was acceptable.
i found hairs on the bathroom floor, that was quite disgusting. the shower temperature fluctuated a lot, it was either too hot or too cold and i couldn't find a middle ground. also, the walls seemed thin because i could hear noises from other rooms.
