The suite we had was a great size, it’d was very clean and up to date, staff was friendly and location was great. However, we had a canal facing room. The trams were soooo loud all night. The tubs were also ridiculous in size- so high to try and climb in. My husband is very tall and I’m short and we both struggled. It was very dangerous for our toddler given how small the whole bathroom was and trying to reach him. I don’t know how any person of advanced age could get in safely.
