The room was clean and ok, however we were placed in an accessible room with a huge wheelchair accessible bathroom. This seriously cut down on the room left for the bedroom. Also the shower curtain finished about a foot above the ground so when someone used the shower there was water everywhere and you had to use a towel to mop up. Also just a wall basin which meant there was nowhere to put any of your toiletries except on the (wet) floor. The room lacked functionality in this way. Maybe a standard room would have been better though.
