OK for a cheap place to stay
Pros:

Plenty of parking

Cons:

Room smelt of paint which gave me headache. Not an ideal way to start a busy day.
Room freezing as radiator turned off, which i soon rectified.
Staff were just going through the paces, it would have been nice to have a smile upon check in.

Good budget hotel
Pros:

Clean, basic hotel. Quiet at night. Bed was comfortable. However the pool facilities are excellent for the price.

Cons:

Breakfast was only ok (I came down later so it wasn't very fresh, beans were basically paste, black pudding was like eating a drinks coaster). Coffee is instant not fresh (major negative for me). No extras like toiletries or biscuits, that sort of thing (not a deal breaker).
