We were woken very early by a delivery after a late night but that was the only thing we could moan about

Great value for money.
Pros:

The manager for the hotel Tom was an absolute gem. Super helpful and friendly. I was there for 3 night and its definitely value for money- esp if you are travelling alone. 10-12 mts walk to the tube station.

Very basic.
Pros:

Location. Near station and high street.

Cons:

Mattress was by far the worst I have ever slept on which is kind of the point of a hotel room. Tap in bathroom moved all over the place, window was hard to close once opened and not sure the carpet in the hallway/stairs has ever been cleaned.
The parking i was asked to pay for was such an awkward angle that I had to scrape my alloys to fit it in resulting in a £400 repair now needed.
