Good for a quick no nonsense overnight stop.
Pros:

I loved the clean crisp all white bedding!
Plus a comfortable big bed.
Safe parking and good WiFi.

Small dining room that serves a reasonable breakfast.

Well equipped room but unfortunately not much of an atmosphere as it seems to cater more for quick overnight stays or maybe visitors/workers at the nearby mines

Cons:

Would have liked a more personal touch like a snack or biscuit in the room.
Plus the booking.com directions were useless!

Pros:

Nothing, it was not a good experience, the room I selected through booking.com was not available and the place was fully booked and yet I had already paid. They had to move me to a room that was not prepared for stay.

Pros:

Easy accessible from N14

A very dissatisfied customer - who stays at this property often
Cons:

Noise from the kitchen - constant shouting and cutlery banging around - it was most uncomfortable.
My coffee station had not been cleaned - this leading me to think what else had not been cleaned.
Hot water in the shower suddenly stopped mid shower.
Whilst changing - a cleaning lady tried to enter my room without knocking on the door. Lucky I had my key in the door or she would have barged in.
