    “The room was nice. Loved the silent corner, very peaceful for productivity. However might be a little too cold and even when the room temperature system is adjusted or switched off, little to no change. The TV is great, but would love it if I didn't have to screen share from my laptop to play music or a film. YouTube is an option but it does not work. Would appreciate if I could connect it from my phone instead of having to screenshare or cast everytime I want to watch something, which often lags and could be slow sometimes. Loved The Other Room Restaurant. Perfect customer service and appetizing breakfast. They're promt in taking and delivering orders.”
