Great stay
Pros:

Very comfortable room. Plenty of space, comfy bed, bathroom was functional if a little tired. The best things though was the lady at reception. So friendly and helpful she is definitely the cherry on top here. The location is great with plenty of places to eat and shop

Cons:

The bathroom is a bit old and tired but clean. TV is old and had basic TV channels but not that major really. For the price it was great

Good value for money
Pros:

The rooms were clean and no smell of liquid used to clean rooms or bad airfreshener. Clean and they heated the room before our arrival as it was cold. Towels were fresh, new and no smell at all.
