Good if desperate
Pros:

The room was accessible. The staff weren’t rude but a little awkward.

Cons:

There was stains on one of the towels and no PowerPoints near the bed to charge devices effectively. The room was very bare. I wasn’t sure who lucky compared to a friend who stayed the same night in another room as our bathroom was bigger than the actual bedroom and hers was much smaller.
