Pick somewhere else, not clean at all
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Probably one of the dirtiest hotels I have stayed in a long time, the room was tired, on the ground floor next to a car park that probably had 20 cans of helium on the floor. Felt unsafe and could not be moved as they said the rooms were fully booked

Car park at Sainsbury’s next to one side of the hotel had cars doing donuts one night at 1am. So if your room was there you would hear then and wake you up. Not problem in the other room we had.
