Loo a problem

I enjoyed most of my time here but was very disappointed to find out that my toilet and shower was down the other end of the corridor. It was private and clean but when you wake up in middle of the night needing the loo it is not convienient to have to get fully dressed before using the facilities. I thought I was in a room with ensuite facilities so this was a big downer on an otherwise fantastic hotel
