clean room tea facilities comfortable bed

i found the room CLEAN, equipped with tea facilities, and a comfortable bed with very nice bedding. A television and a functional wet room were present. I was happy to find it exactly as described, especially helpful for my specific needs.

the room was just a little NOISY at night. I could hear some sounds that i believe came from outside, but it was not too bad.

convenient location clear signage large smart tv

The location was INCREDIBLY convenient (easy walking distance!) to the venue I visited. Clear signage around the area made navigation simple. The room had a smart TV that was much bigger than I expected, great after a long day.

The campus shop closes at 6pm, so food or groceries may involve a walk. rooms include a fan. Blackout blinds could improve the external lighting. the campus includes clear signage to guide guests.
