Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was good. However, there were pigeons living on the outside of the window ledge, so the sound they make was very loud and irritating. The wifi literally kept cutting out every few minutes sometimes seconds. We got complimentary breakfast which was also good, although I don't feel the choice of bread we get should be different to the choice of bread a paying customer gets because after all we are not begging it was inclusive in hotel booking. With better internet services I would stay there again.
