You get what you pay for!!
Pros:

Last minute booking, very cheap!

Cons:

We had an accessible room.
No plug in wash basin, difficult to wash and shave.
Wet room floor gets absolutely soaked even with the shower curtain. Couldn’t then use toilet without getting wet feet!
Had to get on hands and knees to dry with a towel.

Pros:

Staff super friendly and helpful. Location fantastic for the racecourse. Bed was comfy. Easy to park and convenient to walk to the town centre.

Cons:

Room was dusty. Hanging space for clothes is limited to about 6 hangers on a rail and nowhere to put other clothes. It's fine for a couple of days. Rooms are on the pricey side but the location for our needs compensated for this.

Miserable breakfast staff but a great night's sleep
Pros:

Room was clean and modern, bed was very comfortable and the shower was great

The gentleman who checked us in was very friendly

Cons:

Breakfast staff were miserable. Like very unfriendly (with the exception of one lady)

The food was also very poor in the evening- quality was awful 😖

Staff in the morning all lounging about at reception on their phones like they didnt want to be there and were difficult to talk to
