Very basic
Pros:

That it was close to the train lines

Cons:

There was hotel “parking, 5 spots and 3 of them were taken up by cars that looks like they haven’t moved in months. The windows didn’t open and hard to get fresh air. Was woken up at 3am by the fire alarm and evacuated. Very strong smell of curry/cooking through the whole building. Was no staff to speak to about anything.

Pros:

Bed was ok

Cons:

Parking was full. About 6 spots, most of which were full of cars that hadnt moved for ages. There is no reception. It took a good 15 mins to get the codes to get in. There was one chair, no couch. Side tables looked like rejects from the thrift shop. Bathroom was tiny, with the dreaded plastic shower curtain. At the price, would be overrated as a 2 star.

If the rooms were cleaner this would be a really nice affordable option for people.
Pros:

Main door and room doors used codes sent directly to you instead of physical keys

Cons:

The cleanliness of the rooms. There were clear old stains on the sheets, paint ripped off walls, handprints on the walls, mould in the bathroom
