Very dirty room, would not stay again.
Pros:

Staff were friendly.

Cons:

The room we had was absolutely filthy. Dust thick everywhere and dirt and used wrappers all around the bed. I had to clean it with dettol wipes.
No curtains, just broken blinds also covered in dust and let all light in. Made for difficult sleeping.

Alright, but not somewhere I’d jump to go to again.
Pros:

Staff were super friendly, location is walkable from town centre and feels very safe. Lots of parking available.

Cons:

Room felt really outdated and not very clean - more because it seems like 40-50 years of the same carpet, heater and bed frame rather than the cleaners not doing a good job. I didn’t want to let my stuff touch the floor, but the room was so cramped we had to. Shower seemed more recently modernised, but the bathroom door didn’t shut properly.
