Pros:

It convenient for my needs

Cons:

I didn't like the double bedroom, the bed was a 4 ft size and the room was small and very little space around the bed and room, no mirror in the room only bathroom. If you wanted tea or coffee you had to go downstairs and pay for it from a machine which was situated in a room similar to a games arcade with different sorts of gaming machines. We found the drinks in the bar to be expensive.

Great hotel with friendly manager and very clean and comfortable
Pros:

Lovely hotel very clean and cosy and modern lovely guy who was running the place very friendly wish we could have stayed longer will definitely be back

Cons:

The only thing was there was only one towel in the room this was a triple room and a small fan would be a good idea for the warmer months but apart from that everything was great

Ok for a cheap stay but beware of extra charges
Pros:

Nicely decorated bedroom. Has a really good Bluetooth speaker to play music. Has a vendor machine in corridor.

Cons:

The hidden charges. £7 just to hire a fan despite the scorching heart. More charges for extra pillows (they provide 1 pillow each) charges for towels, bedding ect. Bed was hard & uncomfortable. No kettle in room. No shower gel for shower. Bathroom tiny.
