My one night.
Pros:

Location was fine. Var park covered by CCTV reportedly.

Cons:

It's all a bit tired and run down. Car park is a waste tip. Restaurant/ dining room is a cafe by day by the looks of things. Not very busy. Food is poor, mistly reheated stuff, not always co.letely cooked through.

Cheap cost cutting hostel that over promises and under delivers
Pros:

The waitress was very good

Cons:

Poor room nothing met description .. more hostel than hotel . No water in the room. Soap was so diluted it wasn’t soap any more … Couldn’t fill the kettle from the sink ( no chocolates as promised)check-in was weird .. frequent excessive but unhelpful communication. It involves a no person contact however The security was in question as we could work out the code for rooms on our floor, as they followed a pattern . No connection between the food service and rooms apparently so breakfast booking was not recognised.. when they agreed to give us breakfast they had scored out loads of items under breakfast on the cooked breakfast menu ( although available for extra money) so they could cut the cost by reducing the inclusive items in the cooked breakfast. Despite the apparent price of
£12:95 not changing. Very expensive for what it is .. if you look like a hostel and act like a hostel you should only charge hostel prices

Has potential to be a nice place to stay.
Pros:

Good location with off street parking. Self check in worked well.
Good wi-fi connection

Cons:

Room was a bit grubby. Had to remake the bed before using it as the sheet and mattress protector were not on properly. The shower plug was filthy. There were dog biscuits and some tablets in the bin under the bin bag. Room needed a proper deep clean.
