Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It was a good sized room and the reception guy was very helpful in sorting out issues.
Negative: The TV didn't get ordinary television to start with, but the receptionist guy went off to find a device to make it work properly. Whilst he was helpful it would have been better had the device alresdy been fitted. There were no comfy srmchairs to sit down on to read a book but some other units had these outside their unit so he receptionist got one for me.
Summary: A good space but needs a couple of comfortable chairs.
