Great location, wonderful and friendly staff, extremely comfortable beds
Pros:

The staff were very friendly, helpful and very understanding for us to be able to check out and in a little bit later due to the circumstances of our stay. We were able to meet up with other family members the night before a sad farewell and nothing was too much trouble. The bed was so very, very comfortable and the bathroom was clean, tidy with a decent shower which is 2 of the main factors I look for.

Cons:

The tv didn't work properly but that wasn't a big issue for us as after travelling for 3 hours all we wanted to do was sleep...a breakfast option would have been good??

It did the job but I wouldn’t stay there again.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful.
Was pleasantly surprised by the shower - very powerful!

Cons:

My bed had clean sheets but there was a massive, ominous looking stain on the mattress that you could see through the sheet. I didn’t investigate further for fear of what I might find, and slept on top of the duvet with a towel as a blanket. It was not a comfortable night.

Horrible and not safe
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything about it, the rooms and the place its self wasn't clean. This hotel was full of immigrant's where they was all sat on the stairs/landing eating food. The whole placed just smelt horrible, This hotel needs to state that they house immigrant's. I didn't even stay at the hotel I slept in my car.
