washing up liquid usb charger modern style poor signage fire safety ridiculous way
I appreciated the washing up liquid dispenser by the sink. the modern style really stood out to me. i found many usb chargers around the room. That was quite handy.
the signage getting to the rooms was not good. i think it is a ridiculous way to put signage up. i believe if there was a fire, people would have trouble.

great studios with modern amenities

liquid dispenser usb chargers comfy bed
i found a washing up liquid dispenser by the sink a useful touch. the studio design was modern with several usb charging ports. the bed was comfy, and i slept well (the bedding was soft). i also appreciated the oven manuals in the cupboard, i find those useful.
the room was quite warm, i found the minimal windows didn't open. there was no fan, so i had difficulty controlling the temperature. this made the room less comfortable than i hoped.

The studio was super clean. I was greeted by a helpful, friendly person during check-in. The accommodation felt brand new and included free parking within a secure area.
The room had minimal windows and no fan. It got very warm, but the windows didn't open. I really wish there was some way to improve the ventilation.
