"Paid for an executive room which had huge comfortable bed, nice bathroom but room itself was no bigger than a lot of standard rooms I've stayed in. Top floor with great view. Beside train station so need to close window at night but no issue with air con. Access to executive lounge which disappointingly had no basic alcoholic beverages but lots of tea/coffee/soft drinks and some snacks. All staff were very pleasant"
