Good value for money but some improvement needed.
Pros:

It was available and the price was good. Staff were lovely. Beautiful old building, in need of some TLC, but still lovely.

Cons:

Important things: Toilet lid didn’t stay open, extractor fan in the bathroom didn’t work.

Would be nice things: Mirror wasn’t over the kneehole of the dressing table but to the side over the drawer section. Could do with a shelf in the bathroom as every surface on the sink sloped.

Like staying in a piece of history!
Pros:

Historic hotel, lots of interesting things to see inside. It is a shame the hotel is not being used to it's full potential.
Room was very large, although perhaps not laid out ideally.
Fan was provided. It was very warm.

Cons:

Bathroom very much function over form. And a bit rough.
Wifi not great. TV would not connect to internet, so no using the integrated streaming services. And many terrestrial channels did not work.

The staff were polite.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We didn't stay. We told the staff that our dog was ill but the truth is that we felt unsafe in the town. The hotel had no facilities so to eat we needed to leave the hotel - we were advised by people in the street not to go out of the hotel in the evening.

No breakfast service.

The whole hotel smelled of incense and vapes. It did not look like the place that we booked.

Lovely old building and ideal for a cheap overnight stay.
Pros:

Cost, free parking, 24hr checkout. It was perfect for what I needed. Somewhere cheap to get a few hours sleep, with parking and being able to check out at 02:30.

Cons:

Decor is looking a bit tired but I wasn't overly bothered as I was there to sleep and not stay for an extended time. Being an old, lovely building, it was a bit wonky in places and very creaky.
