Very depressing .
Pros:

Nothing .

Cons:

The carpet may as well have been made from paper . My room lock was loose and insecure , the toilet stunk of urine . It was a shared shower and the door would not open and no one answered at reception . Felt unsafe as a single woman .

There was dog shit outside the front door for the whole of my stay .

It's fine for a night or two
Pros:

Location was ideal, room on the whole was clean, bed surprisingly comfy. Only one gent at reception but friendly enough. Perfect for our needs as a cheap and cheerful for 2 nights

Cons:

I'm not going to knock a £35 a night room however a few niggles, room lights non of the wall lights worked, no remote for TV (didn't need however didn't see one), some curtains hopeless didn't open close just kind of hang, toilet is the loudest flush in the world and main front door may as well have a sign saying slam me it's that loud. Room is tired looking.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND, so loud covered in bed bugs stinks people drinking all time outside arguing banging was an awful st
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

it was awful no one on reception ever, Was alcoholic drinks behind reception, i genuinely thought it was temporary housing for homeless / drug users, main door banged all throughout the night people been loud in rooms shouting arguing drinking smoking smells coming into our room, bathroom smelt foul, I have bed bug bites all over me there was things all over the walls looked like human faeces, boogies, window was smashed window latch was broken causing it to bang all night, had to pay for parking and was not clear on the ad that it would cost over £30 to park for the weekend bedroom was old it was vile I would not recommend a single sole to step foot near it
