helpful staff lovely room comfortable bed missing bathroom unstable shower slow heating

the staff, they were so helpful with my extra needs! i stayed after surgery, and they helped me. the room was so lovely and it had everything i needed. the bed is the most comfortable i have ever slept in!

i wrongly assumed upgrading to a room with a shower meant getting a bathroom, this wasnt the case. the shower was held onto the wall by prayer, but it did a good job. the room took a long time to heat up!
