1. Some people complained about the room size but our room was great; it had a desk, armoire, minibar and lounge chair and reasonable sized bathroom.

2. For the price I expected at least a work desk area, but got an amoire and huge wood box with minibar fridge inside, and large tray of snacks and things on the top, taking precious space away from the room.

6. Room was small but well furnished, great quality bed, good minibar if you can afford those things, bathroom was modern with shower, variety of television programs etc. There was also an Ipod dock which you could connect your Ipod/music player to and hear via speakers.

10. This wasn't too much of an issue in January when we could just turn it off but can imagine that it may get slightly annoying during the height of summerMy only issue with the hotel is with the minibar.
