Very comfortable!
Pros:

Beds were super comfortable, shower was amazing. Air-conditioning worked well, tv great.

Cons:

The floor was rather...crunchy and covered in stains. We did find a fair few loose hairs around the place as well. The sheets and towels were immaculate though!

Great for early airport flight
Pros:

Easy check in, nicely renovated room, plenty of tea and coffee, relatively spacious, nice meal at the pub next door and a great price.
Easy access to the airport in the morning.

Cons:

Super noisy, didnt get much sleep at all. Being a Friday night and next to a pub is understandable though but we could literally hear everything from traffic to everything else happening around us. Beds and pillows were a little too soft and room was very bright during the night.

Disappointed and wish I booked and different venue - worst venue I’ve booked in last twelve months
Pros:

The Chinese takeaway but even the combination had a strange taste and smell to it

Cons:

The sewerage smell everywhere around the premises inside and out and lack of staff around and communication lines poor and the price paid compared to other places I’ve booked which u will see I’m a regular booker it is way overpriced and will not be back again unless a refund is paid then I would be prepared to give it another chance - not enough parking either

Value for money, and very convenient for my reasons for visiting the area
Pros:

The power went out during the night and did not come back on. Later that day, I received notification that I was receiving a complete refund. Not at all expected, but very appreciative of the gesture.
