Bargain break would happily recommend and would certainly return again.
Pros:

Compact and perfectly formed spotlessly cleaned and great location.

Cons:

Having to leave at 10 am in the morning only a small grumble! Testimony to how comfortable it was at the property.

Pros:

The value of this place was great. It has no windows so not suitable for a long stay, but the bed was comfy, the water was hot and the price was right.

Cons:

Obviously having more facilities with as parking would be good, but I have to score this on it's price and the market it is aiming for.

It was okay, not easy to get in using the emailed key code, the noise from above was excessive.
Pros:

The location was great. The room was very clean. The bed was very comfy.

Cons:

The noise from above was like a herd of elephants until about 10pm, then it was quiet.

Excellent
Pros:

All good. I was afraid of the no windows but that was a bonus in the longer days of summer! And it made the rooms quieter.

Cons:

Would stay again, just for a night at a time though
Pros:

Good location, room was nice but could only really stay a night due to the windowless situation.
