If you enjoy sharing other people's feces or vomit, stay here!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

After checking in to what should have been a serviced room.. The floor was not vacuumed, the bath had not been cleaned (someone else's soap scum ring remained) and the toilet had what appeared to be a lot of either feces or vomit? Running down the outside. Informed reception, they moved us to a downgraded room with not so much as a refund, credit, breakfast voucher or anything else other than a measley oh sorry we'll let house keeping know. WTAF has happened to the World and respect, and courtesy, loyalty.. for that matter, any form of value! Haven't returned. We have stayed here many times, always an issue, and literally not accommodating.. we won't be staying again.
