Lovely room. Nice and quiet. Unfortunately the shower didn't work properly but when we mentioned this we were given a partial refund. We were asked why we hadn't called reception to get a maintenance person up there but we didn't know this was an option, and it was the morning and we needed to leave fairly quickly so there wasn't time to do this.
