underwhelming stay on newbury street

good locationsmall bathroomcold water
The location was alright. The proximity to shops was acceptable.
The bathroom was small. Getting in and out of the shower meant bumping into the toilet. i also couldn't turn on the shower without stepping inside first, resulting in a blast of cold water. there weren't any cookies or fruit available. The absence of a microwave in the room was also a bit of a letdown.
