Spacious room with fantastic styling, big tv, decent bed and amenities. Long metal drain in the wet room bathroom isnt sturdy, almost fell over thinking i broke it. Couldnt understand staff member at the register, spoke way to quickly in his thick foreign accent for an "upmarket" hotel.

There was mould in the shower and the grate on the bathroom floor was loose and would lift up when you stood on it plus it made a hell of noise not very good if you're trying to be quite early in the morning.
