Disappointing, I was glad to get away at dawn.
Pros:

It was cheap, to be fair.

Cons:

Room was very basic and almost unfurnished. No en-suite, TV not working, no bedside light, no curtains, no bedside table, no chairs, no character, cold with very poor heating, very small room. Rather like a prison cell.
