Uncomfortable
I'm still there, I didn't get the room that I paid for . They denied me my original room and gave me beside the Engine room,which couldn't allow me and my wife to sleep or have peace . They denied us free bottles water,cafe/tea machine and no changing of our bedsheets etc.

Slightly disappointed
Although we got a good price for our rooms and the fact that it is winter, I was disappointed that what was advertised was not available. There was no tea & coffee making facilities in the room, no mini bar and not free bottles of water.
