mixed feelings about the stay

uncomfortable mattress shared bathroom

the room was in a good location with easy transport links.

The mattress was very uncomfortable. the pictures are not really realistic. there were only 2 rooms on the floor, we both shared the same bathroom, not sure where the room with private bathroom is.

The tv provided netflix access , which gave a decent entertainment option , but it wasn't really dining. tesco express next door was convenient . It allowed me to quickly grab essentials without needing to travel far.
