Helt ok! Ett plus för att våningssängarna ha gardiner. Vissa toaletter och badrum behövde städas och renoveras. Lätt att ta sig dit med Jubilee Line

No major issues, staff were friendly and helpful but I was there in February and the rooms were sweltering. The heat wouldn’t turn off? Aside from that, no issues.
