Met our requirements of somewhere that was cheap and convenient for our travel requirements.
Pros:

Convenient for our travelling requirements friendly helpful receptionist who helped us find somewhere to watch England match and got us a later checkout time.

Cons:

Room very run down, shower difficult to keep temperature and head broken not adjustable. No air conditioning, so having to have window open so more noise in room.

Pros:

Easy access

Cons:

Old, very hot, not air conditioning even they knew about the very hot period of time, were over 30 degrees in the room, the window was not option to be opened more than 5-10 cm (due to security) but people can die inside of heat, that is very secure...., no option to swap the room even if requested.
