I was not impressed with the way the hotel was run when I stayed there!
Pros:

The general location of the hotel is good. That is why I chose it!

Cons:

The room had none of the things one would expect to be available e.g. no way of contacting the reception from there except going down to the actual place. The fact that there was only one small towel in the 'bathroom' The fact that the toilet seat was loose and eventually came off!!! The bed was so low that that having got on it I had difficulty getting off.
The window in the room was open. I tried to close it but couldn't. The room was near a bus stop and was very noisy due to voices of people below as well as the buses coming and going. Shutting the window might have helped against that.

I know it for some years. Maybe some appliances would need renovation.

I don't think I'll stay here next time.
Pros:

Central location.

Cons:

The room was on the third floor, and the elevator was broken. I have a disability. The room's windows faced the street, and it was noisy. The biggest downside of all hotels is the poor pillows and synthetic blankets—they always make you too hot. And this room was no exception....

Low cost but served it’s purpose
Pros:

Cheap and cheerful

Cons:

The area was noisy at night seemed to be a number of vagrant sleepers who were obviously suffering from effects of alcohol or drugs. Lift not working

Not safe in the heat
Cons:

Unbearable heat in the room, it felt like we were prisoners, even when its 14 degrees outside the room was absolutely unliveable, i debated going to sleep in my car, with just a few fans pushing the hot air around the room which must have been 35 degrees it was impossible to sleep or stay in there

Good value for money, and an education
Pros:

The staff were pleasant and friendly. The location is super convenient and the rooms were clean and tidy.

Cons:

It isn’t the hotel’s fault, but there were several addicts and prostitutes hanging around the entrance area and on the street out front. We spoke to several other guests who were very concerned about this. Our room was front facing so we could hear them shouting all night and in the morning between 8-9am there were police down trying to deal with them. Again, it isn’t the hotel’s fault and while we would still probably go back, it is the sort of thing people could do with knowing
