i found a couple of things less than stellar . the coffee from the machine tasted quite watery, a real letdown for a caffeine addict like myself. also, that bright green exit light in my room stayed on all night. it made it a bit hard to get a dark room for sleeping. breakfast was alright but definitely not worth the twelve quid they charged.
