Very friendly and nice staff
Pros:

The person managing the hotel reception was very friendly and excellent. There were free chocolate powder mixes and coffee, tea that he encouraged visitor to have anytime of the day. The chocolate powder kept was so good I had several a day. The bed was fine too. The only thing is that if they invest a little bit in putting some hooks or hangers to keep clothes, a little bit of bathroom furnishings to make the bathroom look cosy, and some other stuff which wouldnt take much money, then this place would feel really comfortable and cosy. But the bathroom was quite sparse unlike normal hotel bathrooms. Even though the hot water shower was the best shower I have probably ever experienced with a lot of hot water available for long periods. So all in all- I feel the receptionist and people are great but the management should invest a little bit more in the rooms.

It was close
Pros:

The bed was clean

Cons:

I thought that the parking charge for your car was a little expensive as it was only for 4 nights. The whole place smelt of smoke, also the transport to the airport.
Coffee/ tea making facilities in the room needed.

Wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

Somewhere to stop for the night. Has a late 11am checkout.

Cons:

Where do I start.Lock is very loose to get in the building. Reception is a mess, sheets everywhere. Room wasn’t clean-hairs all over bathroom floor, coffee spill stains up the walls, sink in bathroom held together by filler. No tea/coffee facilities in the room itself. Wouldn’t recommend
