Perfect for an airport stay
Pros:

Perfect really. Comfortable bed. Onsite restaurant was really nice and we had an evening meal. The room was a good size and perfectly situated 5 mins away from the airport via the number 100 bus. Staff were friendly and breakfast was self service. For the price you couldn't ask for more. Also the shower was brilliant.

Stay there at your peril or if you wish to contract a mysterious illness.
Pros:

Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

Wife and daughter felt very vulnerable. Asian men standing outside bedroom window smoking. Full length window with no privacy looked onto main road with traffic lights directly outside. Promised car parking and booked in advance and on turning up had to park on double yellow lines in street. Declined breakfast as too dirty and felt uncomfortable. Door to room didn’t lock and needed staff with WD40. Rooms smelt of smoke and strong curry smell. Shower cubicle was so small needed to open door to bend down and was falling apart and laced with orange bacteria. To sit on the toilet required putting both feet into the shower basin. This place should be condemned.
