Cons:

Didn't stay, we were rung during week & told our room booked 10 months prior was unavailable. They had a room with 2 single beds available so asked for that. Room wasn't overly clean, couldn't make a coffee as only 1 cup and no spoons. Was very hot & small fan was covered in dust so couldn't use. Upon arrival a staff member was appalled we'd been put in room and did mention new management & she was going to ask for us to be refunded. We didn't stay and ended up driving 4hours home. No refund recieved. I'm sure its a nice place to stay & likely circumstantial but it was disappointing.

Definitely a good choice if you love bars, staff and location are amazing
Pros:

The Staff were amazing especially managing the bar noise and patrons once bar closed. The convince of it's location, super flexible with check-in times and the blackout curtains were all fantastic!

Cons:

Being a holiday/long weekend and our room being next to an entrance way; meant music and patrons echoed through the walls till 12.30-1am.
