excellent location good value spacious room poor cleaning absent staff thin walls
The location is excellent with easy access to nearby amenities! i had a nice breakfast. It offered good value for money. The room was spacious, a plus.
My room was not cleaned well, sadly! there was no one at the front desk for checkouts. That's something i have never experienced before. The surroundings were noisy and the walls seemed thin, so i could hear neighbors.

mixed experience

old carpet hanging socket
the staff were friendly and helpful, this met my expectations.
the room was not very clean, and there was dust everywhere. a socket was hanging off the wall in the bathroom, this felt dangerous to me. the carpet was also very old and not hoovered, so i didn't want to put my bare feet on it (it was quite unpleasant).
