Really enjoyed my stay and will be back
Pros:

Comfortable apart from no chairs. Clean and had everything I needed. Lovely products. Spacious with lovely big windows.

Cons:

I worried about early or late access. Leaving at 7 and coming back at 9 for instance. I was able to access thru front though so that helped.
