I would NOT stay here again due to bed being hard and greasy food.
Pros:

Nice friendly staff. breakfast was ok the light breakfast was cereal and toast would of been nice if it was a continental breakfast or hot breakfast.

Cons:

The Hardness of the Mattress!!!!! fell like you were sleeping on a slab of stone.

The fact I had to shower with the window open with traffic going past not very dignified.

Evening meal was greasy one of us had Tempura prawns and other had a pork and black pudding burger, Prawns were rubbery and left a slimy greasy taste in the mouth, burger was very dry and no flavour.

Breakfast was an a option of cereal or cooked, would of been nice to have a continental and cooked option. Left breakfast feeling hungry.

Noisy
Pros:

Bed was comfortable/breakfast was average but filled a gap and was enough. Clean rooms and a Clean hotel.

Cons:

Rooms where cold even with the extra heater on. And extremely thin walls. You can here almost every moment with your neighbours from all sides up and down. Doesn't make for a good night's rest. But overall its a pleasant place and clean.
