    There was no hot water, I kept the tap running for a good 5 minutes and only got to the point where it wasn't freezing cold. Also wasn't told in any of my emails received that ID and a £10 key deposit was needed, but they did let me sort it out later as I didn't have it on me when checking in.

    Due to the reason of us being there, we parked up at 10am and went in to ask if i needed to register my car before heading back out but they gave us early check in. The bed was so comfy, I slept like a baby

    Adequate for an overnight stay or at a push a weekend. The small twin room whilst comfortable lacked storage space and the heating/ventilation was very basic.

    The decor was very strange, outdated, the plastic plants and there was no lamp. Only a full room light available, it's rare that this is suitable most people would require subtle lighting of a small lamp. I disliked this I'm sorry

    The guy who checked me in was wonderful, welcoming and personal, we got on very well and he went above and beyond to make sure I got a room I felt was suitable and that I was looked after. All the staff we re fantastic

    Too many wooden ikea shelves. Like cheapstakes😅. It is giving a care home vibes especially it is next to care home. The shower holder was broken. It is like made from poor budget. In fact, Premier Inn and the likes is way much better.

    Bed was comfy, room was high ceiling.

    Our room wasn't ready when we arrived. Had to ask for towels as there was only 1 bath mat towel and 1 towel for showering. Had to ask for a radiator, room was so cold and main radiator wasn't working. TV didn't have a remote and we when asked for the remote, was given one that didn't work. The key card kept locking us out the room, returned to hotel at 3:30am after the night out, the card didnt let us in and we was told that we checked out, big confusion. Had to give booking details again to new staff member. Eventually got in the room once it was confirmed we were guests. I wouldn't visit again.

    The furniture was basic, the room was cold and there weren’t enough towels. Someone was painting before we arrived and it was too cold to open the windows, so the smell of paint lingered throughout.

    The accommodation was fine for a last-minute booking and very reasonable in price. The staff, the location and value for money were all plus points.

    The bathroom need some sorting out. everyone shower I used flooded the water on your feet. sometimes it was like a maze find a free bathroom. toilet roll not there. toilet seat missing. If they sorted the toilets out and updated the place i would definitely recommend the place.

    I like the sink in the room , there was also a TV. the price was very cheap if you just want a place to sleep and don't care about anything else.

    Would probably be the price that was good tbh .
