Two night stay in King room. Description and photos on hotels.com need updating as room does not have separate dining table and 2 chairs. Room very clean. Noise transmission from next door. Squeaky bathroom door. Not enough space for 2 people to sit at table which has microwave and other stuff on it. Only one chair. No where to put things except on the floor. Bed comfortable. Fridge is for drinks and not cool enough for food ( apparently only cools to 20 deg below the ambient room temperature). Went back and forth to communal room kitchen fridgand freezer instead. Wifi fine.
