Never Again !!!
Pros:

The property online looked lovely , in reality the photos were not true to what was advertised

Cons:

We arrived and were greeted with what felt like a routine show the room attitude. We were told which door to use on entry and departure and that was it.. the room was basic, no water, no tea or coffee , the walls around the switches grubby and the bed the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept in. I was wondering if there were boulders or bodies buried within the mattress .. the property was very dated and no amenities were offered at all ( oh except we had toilet paper ) and one towel to share between us …

Did the job for an early flight but was not comfortable or pleasant experience.
Pros:

it was close to the airport

Cons:

the room was vey basic and in need of improvements all round. the neon OPEN sign was in our window I turned it off so we could not see its glow in the room!

It is very close to the very busy dual carriageway. Bring earplugs.

The price reflects the location not the quality of the room or facilities.

decent budget hotel but bedsheets needed cleaning
Pros:

It was very close to the airport. The staff seemed nice. I really wanted to like it. If the bed sheets were cleaner then I would've felt more comfortable. Generally great price though - it is what it is.

Cons:

Bed sheets weren't clean. Not completely disgusting but you could tell they weren't fully clean due to stray hairs from whomever else was sleeping in there. I just grin and bared it so I could have some sleep but not ideal no. Also the shower plug was blocked/not draining ( I was in room 4 if anyone wants to look into it)
