However the place wasn't clean, I dropped my phone down the side of the bed and deeply regretted retrieving it - all sorts down there like old socks.

Different meaning to cheap n cheerful
Pros:

The location was convenient and parking was great. Staff were approachable and attentive

Cons:

I am gutted that this overnight stay cost me £48 would have rathet slept in a tent. The room wasn't clean, cobwebs everywhere, water not running properly in the sink, sink hadn't been cleaned old mucus in the basin, dirt around the taps and dust everywhere no soap to wash hands, no toiletries available to wash, when asked was given shampoo to wash with.
WiFi not working, TV not enabled for apps.
Restaurant closed on a Wednesday, even though the hotel was aware I was checking in at 6pm hadn't eaten.
Bed mattress you could feel the coils.
Heating not on, got quite cold.
I had booked 2 single beds but were given a double thank god it was my daughter I was sharing with! I won't be staying here again shame costs nothing to be clean.
