My room included air conditioning. It was very useful. Breakfast was good, the full English option provided plenty of food.
The room I stayed in was quite small. The window could not be opened. I found this to be somewhat limiting, really?

the room was super clean. the shower was the absolute best i have ever used. i also found the lady who checked me in friendly.
anytime before 11pm, it was hard to get hold of staff. the key card stopped working halfway through the trip because of a system change. it meant waiting an hour for staff to update it.
