Brief! We weren't there long and that was part of the plan, so this stay was fine.
Pros:

We were only there for one night passing through. It was a stop on a road trip. We arrived late but were kindly welcomed by the staff. It was noisy when we arrived, however. By the time we went to sleep it was quiet. It was good enough for our needs. There were amenities open later which was handy as well.

Cons:

It was very noisy and there were some very rude boys running around near our room, but other than that everything was fine. I should add that the noise stopped by the time we went to sleep.

It is an older property but seems clean and tidy,I would probably stay there again and recommend it
Cons:

Cleanliness of the outside common area,I know it is a guest problem but some garbage cans were overflowing and cigarette butts on the ground just didn’t look right

I waited about 15 mins to pay the young bus girl asked if I was looking to pay I say yes she goes and gets my server she comes back either the machine to pay lunches it in passed it to me and leaves lol I was like what do I do
