Clean, comfortable and good value for money.
Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean - no issues with it. Facilities in the room were good with nice tea making facilities, good shower and plug points with USB to charge your phone.

Cons:

The restaurant was pretty good. My evening meal of chicken curry was OK, but nothing exceptional. Breakfast was good with self service of cold fruit, yoghurt, cereals etc and waitress service of cooked breakfast. The waitress even provided me a box to take some fruit and a sausage sandwich away for lunch.
