Clean, good location but expensive and check what night it is at the pub before you book
Pros:

Clean and good location but pub beneath did not close until after 1am and it was karaoke night (none of them should give up the day job!) Expensive for a very bad nights sleep.

Cons:

Need sound proofing

Good location, room and facilities were basic.
Pros:

Location was good, a short walk from town.

Cons:

Room was basic, no fridge, lighting was poor. No room service during our 3 night stay. No replenishment of tea/coffee etc and the bed was most uncomfortable.

Not worth the money paid, no wifi or TV and inadequate hot drink supplies.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable

Cons:

The TV wasn't working, no signal but all wires were connected.
Only one portion of milk for hot drinks, one tea bag but plenty of coffee. so my morning coffee had to be black.
Couldn't get wifi using the password given
