The room was clean and a great size. I had a classic queen room. The blackout curtains worked WELL. The location is very convenient if you have a flight from gatwick.
The shower pressure was not very strong i like a powerful shower. The lighting was a little confusing. It was hard to work out the best option at night. I found the hand cream but no soap by the sink.
