The only suggestion I would make is that the full length mirror on the side wall would be better utilised at the foot of the bed. 😊

Very comfortable
I didn't want to leave. Very comfortable room, spacious, light, small balcony, but it was lovely to have the door open. Enormous bathroom with large spa bath - it might be difficult for some to get in to use the shower. There is a grab handle. Nice kitchenette and even has a washing machine. The guest lounge looked nice, but didn't use this, although they say they offer drinks and platters. May be next time! Some great eateries close by and around 20 min walk to the Octagon.
