Basic clean rooms with efficient and kind staff. Fixtures and rooms are dated and basic, but clean and have what you need. Safe area with security company and council buildings next door. Super easy parking. Perfect place to rest your head for the night between adventures.

Holes in the ceiling, filthy carpet, dirty red shag-pile carpet on the walls of the lift, no light shade, not enough powerpoints, broken chairs on the balcony", however sheets and towels were clean and the water was hot.
