The Dorm Hotel

8/10 Good

"Stayed in a “single” which was perfect for my parents weekend stay. Room was clean and had plenty of space as I was alone. The room was a bit stuffy and I was not able to control the air temp (I did not inquire about how to change as I was exhausted!). First night, it was loud perhaps due to others coming in late but it was very loud throughout the night through the walls/ceiling. Second night was fine. Parking situation was fine."
