OK for an overnight stay
Pros:

Central to the town centre and nice staff at check in.

Cons:

We were on the ground floor and it was very windy and there were gaps under the main door that I had to block with a towel during the night. The sliding door wasn't well sealed so there was also a breeze through here which was opposite the main door so the wind was howling through the room. Flight was cancelled but decided not to stay here an additional 2 nights.
Breakfast appeared to be in the bain marie for a while so bacon and eggs very dry.
