Not for couples. Stay away from this sh.
Pros:

Price

Cons:

Me and my girlfriend were just chatting not shouting as you normally talk, the customer in the room next to ours punched the wall the painting on the wall almost hit us in the head. One man staff came to our room to keep quiet and the hour was 12/1 AM. So you have to shut and tip toe in this garbage hotel. Avoid ar all costs unless you’re a truck driver / commuter I guess.

Excellent staff, good location but the building does need updating.
Pros:

Sarah in Reception was very helpful.

Cons:

The fabric of the building desperately needs some TLC. For example, my first floor bedroom window overlooked the Car Park/Services area but it would not seal shut properly so the room wasn't as quiet as one would expect.
