Pros:

The location and price

Cons:

Drains in the bathroom need to be cleaned, and it leaves a bad smell in the bathroom. I placed what I had left of my drano down it, but it needed a whole entire bottle down each drain shower and bathroom

Nice spot
Pros:

I liked the location and being able to walk to the pub for dinner the room was a nice size for an overnight stay and had everything we needed

Cons:

The room had a very strong musty smell it needs a good airing and some air freshener and I thought it was odd there is no exhaust fan in the bathroom there are skylight type windows not sure how effective they are

Economically affordable, food was great, staff were lovely but the light coming into the room was terribly uncomfortable

Clean but smelly AND the light coming through the window made it impossible to sleep.

Cons:

The light coming through the high skylight/window and the smell from the bathroom drain!

Adequate to our needs in terms of budget and location.
Pros:

Price and location were good. Bed linen felt nice and clean.

Cons:

There was an odor in the bathroom and the bathroom towels etc were padded their best but usable. It was ok. Light outside in walkways very bright and came in under curtains making the room very bright. Beds were very soft.

Never again
Pros:

There was no breakfast

Cons:

There was a band playing 50m from the room on a Saturday night. It was unbearable.
Bedside lights flickered non-stop. Eventually a manager found some globes at another room and replaced them.
