Ultimately enjoyable thanks to the staff who clearly ironed out the early wrinkles.
Pros:

Location very convenient for station and workplace. Breakfast was good. Bed comfortable. Policy to refund appropriately where stays are necessarily cut short is excellent.

Cons:

Too few electrical points - no usb/c. WiFi was very poor (essentially non-existent on first night- better on second). Shower was too weak - overhead rain shower would work better.
