Great location and value for a night with easy access to the airport and motorway.
Pros:

Great location, very close to the airport and public transport. Close to the petrol station and shop. Clean and tidy rooms. Fresh towels and bedding.

Cons:

Old building but refurbished, you can hear other people on the hallway and outside. A bit noisy, because it's close to the street, traffic and the airport. But it's a very good location and value for the night.

Wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

The location is the only thing going for it

Cons:

Needs a lot of TLC beds comfortable but the bedding looked like something from the 80’s
Staff pleasant , no tea making facilities in room you had to go downstairs
Luckily i only spent a few hours in there
Expensive for what it is i only stayed here as the Travelodge had bed bugs the last time I stayed and it put me off
Shower needs a clean and update water was freezing when I got in, and i’d left it running

Pros:

Nothing, I couldn’t leave my car as I was in fear

Cons:

I parked up, as a single white woman I was very scared as everyone was black or Indian. I’m not racist at all but I was in the minority and the hotel looked awful…..so I booked another one
