6.8 out of 10, (3)
"Great spot - new, warm. No kitchen in this unit vs the other ones in the building which have. You can make a cuppa and reheat in microwave though. Good medium firm bed which I appreciated. Also note to the provider that through hotels.com there was no emailed key code provided - and I was lucky that there was a staff memeber on site that could let me in. I think I have used through Airbnb previously where comms were sent on pre checkin. Thanks "
