Pros:

Being able to share same room with three people and not book an extra room

Cons:

It's operated like a production line.

We arrived early and regardless of whether the cleaners were busy with every room right up until the exact check in time, too bad.

No country courtesy.

No "oh one minute ill check with the cleaners and we'll get you international travellers snuck in early so the minor can rest"to

Pros:

It was clean and well presented

Cons:

Didn’t really like the musty smell but that smelled to be everywhere so I guess it just the smell since the flood

Next please - never again - check in time ??
Pros:

Checking out time

Cons:

Couldn’t check in at 2pm ?
Got told to wait till after 3pm when the other worker was back from lunch .
Checking a guest in seemed like the biggest hassle in the world - dirty property, dirty attitude

Staff needs refresher or proper training
Pros:

Location. Free and easy parking.

Cons:

1. Staff opening door without knocking, no apologies, excusing his action because he thought we've already checked out at 9am on our 1st morning of a 2-night booking.
2. Fresh towels placed on the floor for the next occupants. Which meant the towels we thought were clean were potentially placed on the floor as well.

Overall good stay, quiet and easy to find and sort out,
Pros:

I didn't get a breakfast, the central location was good, nice balance retained between new and old, I liked the code entry over the keys, one less thing to lose

Cons:

Beds and pillows weren't the best, the cleaners could clean out the corners and under the bed every now and then, it's like it's not been done in the 100 years the pubs been there
