The location provided EXACTLY what I needed. The room was spotlessly clean. The coffee machine and tea in the lounge area are available, since there is no kettle in the room. You can always come down for a drink ANYTIME.

There was only one small plastic glass in the room for drinking. I also noticed an uncomfortable mattress in my room.
