fantastic docklands stay
excellent locationconvenient parkingnearby restaurantslong delay
the location was excellent for accessing marvel stadium. i found convenient parking nearby (it was a short stroll). many dining options were also a short walk away. the tram stops right outside, providing easy access to the city center.
i requested a kettle for my room, but it took a long time to arrive. this delay was inconvenient.

Mediocre Stay with Cleanliness Issues
dirty sinkfalse alarm
I found the room to have some cleanliness issues upon arrival. There was dirt around the bed and the bathroom sink had grime in the corners. This was not ideal. A fire alarm also went off, requiring an evacuation. It turned out to be a false alarm, but it was still disruptive.
