"Room amenities minimal. No phone. To contact reception or get information have to use small iPad in the room. Not all are familiar with his device. I found it unhelpful and not user friendly. Was on 13 level so had to use (1 only, very slow lift) to check at reception. No Tea Bags or coffee pods. No notebook or pencil! Bathroom plug, stuck on 1st use. Could not release water in basin. Breakfast staff unfriendly. No juices for breakfast other than tomato juice. Stay of 3 nights. Will not return. Recommend a stay of one night as location next to train station convenient."
