Good price, location and staff unfortunately the upkeep of rooms and equipment not checked replaced or maintained correc
Pros:

The staff were friendly. The location is close to airport. Price was good & late check in was handy.

Cons:

It was dirty. The mattress was sunken in. The bed base was ripped. The white walls had black dirt on them. The window was not sealed and had a cold draught coming in. The air con remote was missing. The fridge froze all my food & drinks and compartments in fridge all broken. There were also ants everywhere.

Good enough if on a budget
Pros:

Cheap! Good value. Clean & tidy.

Cons:

Close to train line so you hear the train every 20 minutes or so. Bathroom is small, but again; for the price it’s good value
