The room had a coffee machine with pods that I used daily. I found the bed comfortable and the room well-kept. The reception staff was friendly offering assistance with directions.
The walls seemed thin and some noise travelled between rooms. This made it a bit difficult to sleep at times. Perhaps thicker insulation could help improve soundproofing.
