the view was not great but expected in such an industrial setup some of the appliances in the room didnt work eg: hairdryer and steamer tv remote was hard to use the choice of toiletries is questionable - who wants to shower with a parsley or kale flavoured product? surely i dont want to smell like a walking salad
