7.6/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)
Poor maintenance of plumbing, basin washers worn, shower head water more on to ceiling under pressure than thru the nozzle. While good central heat & cool, the low fan noise so high I needed to make it turn off to sleep. Yet the room itself was good so attention to existing services required really let's it down
