Adequate for a couple of days.
Pros:

The bed and pillows were excellent. Staff were very helpful.

Cons:

The room was very dark and lightning dim. Lounge floor lamp was not working. I had trouble seeing in the cupboard where the glasses, coffee mugs etc were located. I feel it needed to be painted a light colour, it was like looking into a cave. I could not find the fire escape plan anywhere in the room. It’s always a priority of mine when I stay in multi story buildings. The TV did not offer the Australian free to air channels, no apps for any of the usual channels..eg iview, SBS, 7Plus, Nine now. I found this very annoying. I am Australian.
