Pros:

What did I like? I liked that the doors have touch pad locks and you do not need to carry a key card with you

Cons:

What did I not like... where should I start?
Now for reference I completely understand that you get what you pay for and this is a budget room for £24 but God, there is cheap and then there is abysmal.. when we arrived i was like, this is okay isn't it.. but then it's got worse and worse.. the blue blanket on the bed had some disgusting white stains on it 🤢🤢 the draw next to the bed had a stash of used milk wrappers and tea bags which let off a disgusting stale smell which made me heave and I had to sleep next to 🤢🤢 the walls are absolutely paper thin and you can hear everything, the pillows and duvet are think and cheap, there was no hair dryer, the "" super strong "" WiFi was absolutely shocking and I barely got to watch the smart TV due to buffering and it would not connect to my phone! The carpets could definitely do with seeing a hoover, there was hair in the shower... shall I continue?? I have never stayed somewhere so abysmal and disgusting!! Definitely will not be returning!! I understand it's cheap and budget but that is absolutely appalling!!

Would stay again
Pros:

Comfy bed, helpful and understanding staff, location is slightly out of the way but nothing that wouldn't make me go back. Parking available to reserve and £10 per car per 24 hours.

Cons:

The double bed being next to the wall on one side. Only one mirror, needed one in the room too.
