Room was quite big and the bed comfortable.

Clean - tidy - comfortable.
Pros:

The room was great, it had a large long desk, bed comfy and we had dinner from the restaurant delivered. It was a great place to stay, and the location was situated near our weekend commitments.

Sleep deprived and unwell. Wouldn’t do again
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was easy to navigate where everything was and the lobby area was quite nice.

Cons:

The room itself was not great. The furniture was clean but there was mould on the ceiling, lots of wear and tear on the walls and appliances, the tap leaked the entire time. The bathroom light is connected to the fan which was like a jet engine I had to shower in the dark. There is constant noise from the road right outside the room, a light right above your head that blinks all night and there was noise all night from various sections of the room that kept me up all night. I also saw a cockroach in the bathroom and I got incredibly sick during the night and had to vomit there was a worm or something under the toilet seat when I lifted it up. I also felt something crawl across my chest whilst I was trying to sleep but I don’t know what it was.
