The location was convenient, close to transport links. (That was a relief!)
I booked a "Roseate Executive Suite", but it was disappointing. The shower handle detached when I tried to turn it on. It took a while for the water to warm up. The noise from the street was very disruptive as well, going on past 10 PM (they should have warned me about that).
