mixed feelings about the stay
slow elevator noisy street
My experience was not entirely positive. the elevator service was slow, just one lift seemed to be working properly. this meant waiting longer than i expected each time i needed to move between floors.. also, i found the room to be showing its age. The windows didn't seal well so street noise was quite noticeable.
