Big room but no windows. No way to control room temperature. Very crowded at breakfast time. Only one lift working. Uncomfortably hard mattress.

Pros (+) Couldn't fault the room really. Big, clean and comfortable.
Cons (-) Telly was too small to watch, and bed was a bit uncomfy - but not really a complaint, just an observation. For the money I didn't expect luxury
