Liked: Cleanliness
Room clean, staff very friendly and engaging. Some TLC required to the mould in the shower and the overhead bed light didn’t work, this left just the room light as the only means of lighting and reading by that was a bit limited as the wattage of the bulb wasn’t great. Staff definitely the biggest positive.
