The Towers on the Park
Staff were lovely and the location was great. There was no cooking hob for pots and pans, just a huge electric roasting container with a lid, a toaster and microwave. Nowhere to boil rice, pasta or do a small stir fry for one person. This made it difficult to prepare simple meals
