large roomrude staffnoisy railway
the room was large and airy so i wasn't too cramped.
The staff wasn't great. I asked for an extra towel and it took hours. also, the railway line at the back was more than a novelty. It was noisy. the trains rumbling past at all hours made it difficult to sleep well.
