Atrium on Ulster

Atrium on Ulster

8/10 Good
"We booked a studio for two nights having stayed here before. It had everything we needed and was super clean. Turned out we were given the studio suitable for disabled folk. The bathroom floor was so slippery after a shower that I’m surprised I didn’t end up injured - i skated around the floor like an Olympic ice skater. We solved the issue by creating a towel path in the bathroom. I don’t know how safe a disabled individual would feel in there though. We did appreciate the towels around the shower to try and contain the water. The bed was fine, although the husband found it quite firm. The neighbours treated us to their entire collection of loud rap albums from early morning to late at night - Not the motel’s fault and we probably could have asked to move rooms. For one night, absolutely fine."
