I was vey happy with my room and the hotel
Pros:

Was clean and all facilities worked well.

Cons:

The room temperature was very hot due to it being summer time and room located at the top of the building however, a fan was available in the room which was constantly needed during my stay. I wouldn’t say it this is a negative point just something to point out.

Pros:

Very cheap and in easy walking distance of the town centre.

Cons:

Very basic facilities with a bizarre motion sensor light in the bedroom. There was also a very strange smell throughout the property. Just off the Oxford road area, which is quite characterful.

It had everything I needed for a short stay.
