Very disappointing
Pros:

The location was good

Cons:

We were put in a disabled room on the lowest floor. The single beds were wobbly and not that comfortable. There was damage to the top of the wardrobe where it didn’t quite fit into the room next to the door. Beds didn’t fit well in the room. Felt like we were in a cleaning cupboard.
