Large room with plenty of space. Could do with a chair to place by the mirror. Carpet could do with a clean. Understand not having windows that open but a bit of fresh air would have been good. Bathroom adequate. No idea why the cleaners had to wash the floor one afternoon, when people around, with rather a large quantity of bleach which made the eyes sting!!! Breakfast was OK. Scrambled eggs looked as though they were powdered so didn’t try.
