Close to hospital, clean but no table and chairs.
Pros:

Room only had twin beds. Whilst there were cooking facilities there was no table or chairs to eat meals. Had to sit on beds

Cons:

The nightly tariff kept changing. Spouse was in hospital and I didn't know the discharge date so I rebooked every two days and tariff was different. It was the same room so the tariff should have been the same for the whole stay.
