Passable stay
Pros:

Hotel was in a good location and not bad for the price. Staff were helpful and facilities were ok.

Cons:

The room wasn't the cleanest, rubbish from the previous guest was under the bed, marks and dirt on the curtains and on the walls and ceiling. Sink in the bathroom didn't drain easily.

Bathroom was a little small, shower is on a step, so not easy for disabled people, and small.
