The staff were helpful and professional at this location.
The room I was assigned had several issues that detracted from the experience. The shower temperature tap fell off and there was a screw on the floor near a loose doorknob. The sofa had visible scratches and stains. there were scuff marks on the walls this was disappointing.

The minibar prices reminded me of daylight robbery, i swear they invented a new currency just to charge me more. i asked for a simple gin and tonic. It cost as much as a small car. also, the wifi signal was weaker than my grandma's eyesight. i struggled to load a cat video, let alone get any actual work done,
