Only plus was the location. Very dated furnishings.
Pros:

Room very dated. No information regarding Wi-Fi or codes in the room. Had to hunt around for the tv control.
Bathroom was very good and shower was awesome. Shame the window didn’t open very far, especially as there was no air conditioning in the room. Bed mattress very strange, whole mattress appeared to “tilt” when sitting on it or just getting into bed.

Cons:

See above, best bit was location.

Good location and great value.
Pros:

The location of the hotel is excellent and the parking permit offered by the hotel is a real bonus. The communal areas of the hotel are in good condition and there was plenty of room to sit and enjoy a drink. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Our room was excellent value for money.

Cons:

The room was a little tired looking and could do with updating in particular the bathroom.
