“Not for me.”
Nothing likable. Not like the photos online. Sadly I think we may have been given the worst room at the back of the hotel. Broken cupboard & fixtures in bathroom. No bedside lamps. No milk or spoon to make a cup of tea. Asking for milk appeared to be an inconvenience. No lift so be prepared to lift your suitcases up stairs or request ground floor.

Location, and ease of moving to any place. Easy access to meeting venues and other recreational activities too. And a very peaceful neighborhood is another plus.
