not good for disabled or women
Pros:

location

Cons:

the fact they opened my room when I extended my stay the same way I usually do I tried calling multiple times they never answer the cleaner stole money and jewellery and threw out a bag of clothes Tim said he was going to get it and knock on the door in 10 mins he went missing I'm so disappointed with their behaviour in the end and been avoiding calls ever since never stay there plus the womens bathroom is covered in black mould

Clean and conveniently located, great in-room amenity.
Pros:

Location was very strategic, close to shops and my workplace. Bus to the city is just around the corner and bring in the main line it's frequently serviced. Room was well equipped with bar fridge, a sink, and kettle.

Cons:

The place is a little noisy from the pub music downtairs, being upstairs from a pub that opens till 2am. But was expected.

Easy to get to, park and a quiet stay.
Pros:

The manager was great. Showed us to our room, gave us all the relevant information for our stay.
We haven’t had that service at this facility for the last few times we’ve stayed when we have had a previous manager show us around.

Cons:

The air fresher used in the main bar area sets off my asthma and is so strong I almost don’t return. This time the smell was also upstairs in the corridor.
Hot water in the shower takes awhile to heat. Not an issue except the amount of water wasted.

nice n cheap but U get what U paid for
Pros:

I like the shops I liked the food in bistro the pizzas are nice I liked the bed

Cons:

they threw out my clothes when I extended the same way as I usually do as I stayed there for a long time and they also stole my charging plugs and some money wAs sadly missing and my timezone card I didn't like how there's pigeons that are nesting outside the windows and the music can be loud some nights and I didn't like the attitude of the manger Tim especially how he handled my stolen belongings he admitted they could be thrown out and I don't like how the women's showers the roof is covered in black mould
