Pros:

Convenient for the airport.

Cons:

No lift!!
Disappointing dining room, it's very dated.
Despite doing online check-in, we had to wait in a queue for over half an hour.
The shower was over the bath, which is impossible when you're disabled.

Cons:

The wash basin in room 161 had a build up of orange coloured dirt and grime around the top of the basin where it meets the worktop. Important for bathrooms to be spotless I feel.
