Comfortable, convenient, good value
Pros:

It was advertised as a small room with en suite so I was happy with the set up and it was a comfortable bed, with a good shower en suite, all very clean and quiet. A friendly welcome, no hassles and perfect for a simple overnight stay.

Cons:

Given the price I paid I have no complaints.
