Only stay for one night if you’re desperate, otherwise you’ll be living in filth.
Pros:

Excellent location, good size room

Cons:

We stayed for 5 nights and had no house keeping. Apparently it’s to do with ‘sustainability’ however had we have paid more money housekeeping would have attended our room, suggesting it’s a financially driven initiative.
Our room was not ready for a 2pm check in so we were made to wait.
The fire alarm went off at 3am on the first night. There was no communication from staff nor explanation. A complimentary coffee the next morning would not have gone astray!
The pool and gym are really poorly located and very dated.
