Really good Museum Quarter Stay

rich breakfast helpful staff
The breakfast was really good with nutrient-rich options available at 7 AM. The staff stored my luggage both before check-in and after check-out, very helpful. I found the staff gave detailed information about getting around to the airport. The room was very clean and the shared areas also maintained high cleanliness standards.
I noticed there was no air conditioning in my room, and during warmer weather this caused some discomfort during the night.
