definitely not recommended for family or kids
Pros:

We clearly smelled someone drug smoking. upon asking receptionist said it happens here. So if you are staying with family or kids then you got to be very careful. There is nothing to hang cloths in the rooms.

Cons:

smell of drug smoking. You need unlock three doors to get access in the room. Nothing to hang cloths and average cleanliness.

Pros:

Que fue barato

Cons:

El estado del suelo con manchas, las cortinas igual y muebles rotos. Al llegar el de recepcion nos dijo que no tenían luz en el bloque y nos trasladaban a otro hotel( todo esto sin precio aviso, siendo las 10 de la noche y 2 chicas jovenes). Ademas hacen pagar un depósito de 100 libras que no se devuelve hasta 24/28 dias. Una muy mala experiencia en general no repetiria

Pros:

This is a basic cheap hotel in a convenient location for the Elizabeth Line into London. The room was a good size and generally clean. The en-suite was fine although the shower was a bit temperamental and was not great pressure. I still managed to wash my hair. The mattress on the bed was lumpy and could do with being replaced but I slept well enough. The heater in the room was handy. The breakfast was basic and self-service but very reasonable considering the price paid. It was really handy having the parking outside which meant that I felt my car was fairly safe while I was out and about. All in all, you get what you pay for. This is convenient but basic. I would use it again.
