The location seemed nice. It was easy to get around. My room was spacious and had a nice view. The staff were friendly and helpful .

The room got uncomfortably hot. I did not want to was great. An alarm sounded loudly every time the toilet was flushed. This was very disruptive. I asked for a double bed, but I got two singles pushed together.

The room felt quite dated. The window was difficult to open. It used an old sliding system. Paint was peeling. Breakfast was also not great. The food seemed like it had been sitting out. I would not pay £15 again for that.
