"Plenty of charge points for EV, absolutely didn't look like a budget hotel when we went in - I thought we were in the wrong building - feels much more upmarket and new."

The room lacked tea and coffee making facilities. The hand basin was in the bedroom, not the bathroom. This arrangement was not ideal.
