Room nice and clean Additional feedback: It was frustrating only having a bed side table on one side of the bed. I had to move the small dining table to my side of the bed so I could put my book, and phone etc on. I ding want to put them on the floor.

The room was very spacious and clean. A bit dated. The hotel its self was big. Which i think didn't help. It didn't feel comfortable or friendly. The reception staf were definitely not friendly. And it felt lacking in character or furniture.
