Adequate stay, some minor issues
convenient location friendly staff fresh towels concerning keycard stained wall blocked drain
The location is convenient for using public transport. Baron court station is very close. The staff were friendly and efficient. The room had fresh towels every day and the bins were emptied.
My keycard opened other doors (i found this concerning). There were stains on the wall. Wallpaper was also ripping. The drain in the shower seemed to be blocked.
