Smart, clean compact accommodation, great location
Pros:

Great location near the T and short ride into centre. Staff friendly and helpful. Very clean and tidy. Good safe parking.

Cons:

I hadn’t appreciated how compact the room was although it was very well laid out to get everything you needed in it. Ideal for a one or two night stay but wouldn’t have chosen it if longer.

A very comfortable stay in a great location for a decent price.
Pros:

Exceptionally clean, comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower, quiet, excellent location.

Cons:

Possibly a bit cramped for two people. Also, a luggage rack would have been helpful. Otherwise well-equipped.
