I was only there for 1 night with my son for Punkfest. £80 for our room which had more than we needed. Will be back soon with the Wife for a cpl o days!
colin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The hotel has clean areas. There was no direct phone in the room to talk to the staff. There is no 24 hour staff either. The rooms have no sound barriers whatsoever. We could easily hear the next room talking past midnight. The windows to the street do not block the street noise. We easily heard the cars driving in the street in the middle of night. .

A Budget Option If That's What You Need

We chose The Elbow Room based on other reviews and because it was a stop that fit our travel itinerary. Overall, what you receive for your money is probably a reasonable balance. Translation: inexpensive but you don't get much. I would say that the owners are trying their best but missing the mark. The breakfast was mediocre at best and the cleanliness so so. The shower stall walls need a thorough cleaning. What looked like a pattern in the wall material was actually mildew streaked up and down. We aren't aren't upset about our stay but rather concede that the Elbow Room is one those you get what you pay for places. You can certainly find better options that will cost more and perhaps we should have done just that.
Zenon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s on a busy street so the traffic noise and conversations from bar customers on the sidewalk carries into the room. The walk-in shower was a nice surprise but the floor is very slippery. It needs a mat to stop a potential fall. There’s a nice free parking lot in the back but on the weekend when the restaurant and bar are busy, it gets full in the early evening.
