Started off very rocky but ended up fine
Pros:

The manager he was fantastic

Cons:

We were moved rooms after we had an issue with a man across the corridor who was speaking very loudly in his phone in the hall way. He could be heard at least 10 rooms away. He was also smoking weed so the whole corridor smelt of it.
