Pros:

It was OK comfortable enough beds

Cons:

Didn't like that I couldn't open either two windows in the room. One was completely covered in pigeon shit and the other window was stuck closed with a double sided sponge tape

Will definitely return as have stayed here before and always found it to be comfortable and welcoming
Pros:

Staff went above and beyond to accommodate us at very short notice. Comfortable and clean . Close to amenities

Cons:

Limited parking but we had already utilised parking close by. No waste bin in room (just forgotten I’m sure). No loo roll holder in situ at the time of stay. Minor inconveniences.

Tried once, never again, you get what you pay for.
Pros:

Close to centre

Cons:

Bed was noisy as hell, rooms had no air flow, felt like i couldnt breath in the night.
Shower basically dribbled, and after 10 mons trying to resolve, temperature kicked in and nearly burned my face and chest.

Cons:

Worst experience of my life. How they can charge this much if they can’t give facilities. Staff lady was so rude. Rooms are in very bad condition. Toilet is suffocating.

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Outdated, not very clean. Doors banging all night and people talking and laughing all night because windows wide open and thin walls. Husband had to ask to move rooms - room was slightly better than the first but won’t be returning. Was a last minute booking due to limited space everywhere else, and although cheap, it wasn’t worth the price.

Overpriced & lacking.
Pros:

Bed was comfortable, it was acceptably clean.

Cons:

Only warm water provided to drink.
Shower had 0 pressure & took 15 minutes to get warm water.
TV barely worked & freeview only
No curtains on the bathroom window, so light shined through in the morning.
Loud.
