I found the breakfast buffet to be excellent. Two automatic coffee machines plus readily available hot water for tea allowed everyone to get a drink quickly. There was a very good selection of cereals, fruit, and pastries. bacon and sausage options, so everyone found something. The room itself was clean and the shower was AMAZING!!!

My air conditioning unit was not turned on. The unit was completely dead. My room stayed FREEZING all night.

Mediocre experience near the NEC

limited storage spaceunadjustable climate

The room felt rather basic. It lacked storage space. There was only a small set of hangers on pegs. The climate control seemed stuck, so adjusting the temperature was impossible. I found the single pillow provided was not supportive enough for a good night's sleep.
