A. Last minute booking proved a good bolt hole after initial difficulty with the lockbox code in pitch dark.

Ok location and useful room for our purpose, nothing for fussy germaphobes.
Pros:

Breakfast came with the room, fresh loaf toast, cornflakes, half used pack other cereal, part used pack margarine and part used glass of jam in fridge, plus pack juice and uht milk. The room is big enough for staying a few days, having large TV is a bonus.

Cons:

Cleanliness - bath/shower needs a serious de-mold and general deep clean, bathroom corners etc included.
