Did the job - good rate ... I just needed a bed for the night
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

its an old building - historic - which I like ... this will sound crazy .. but you know people are using it as a stepping stone - passing through ... which is to be expected .. its a little dated .. otherwise fine - other guests are not there to entertain me ... I slept well and the shower was good ! Its a win

Good value accommodation for a short trip.
Pros:

Staff were all fantastic and helpful. Room was very clean. Breakfast was fine. Location excellent.

Cons:

Room was small with a huge TV in an awkward position. It overlooked the station so I was woken early every morning. However, there was no noise from within the hotel.
Top ups of tea/coffee were sporadic and inconsistent so I had to ask for things.
