My room had a spacious design with windows that opened wide. the bathroom included both a shower cubicle and a separate bath. facilities provided tea, coffee, biscuits, and breakfast juice. This was a thoughtful touch.
The pillows i found were quite lumpy. the curtains allowed a significant amount of light into the room. the floors in the bedroom creaked a lot. It was quite noticeable.
