okay, but with issues

small room no air conditioning
the location was great near central station, it was easy to get around.
the room felt very small, barely enough space for two suitcases. there was no air conditioning in my room, i think it was centrally controlled for the season. it was colder inside than outside, even with the scottish weather, and i needed an extra blanket to sleep.

small room missing air conditioning
Location was acceptable. It was near public transportation.
The room size was far too small for two suitcases. The room also lacked air conditioning, it made sleeping difficult during warmer days. Staff seemed unconcerned when I raised this issue.
