This room was simple, but clean and the shower was good. The owner gave me an upgrade so that I did not have to share a bathroom. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

It's cheap and adequate, beds are comfortable enough; however, the wifi wasn't good enough to stream TV which when is pretty essential to pass time when working away from home.

Bad condition. No soundproof at all. For two nights I was hearing some weird groaning from the person staying next door.
I did not know that the Room I was going to stay at is not en-suite.
Dusty and old carpets. Moulds on the wall. The doors were in bad condition.
Had to change to TravelLodge for my 3rd night

Basic
Absolute basic hotel for a very low price. If all you want is a bed for the night it is fine but if you want anything else you will have to go somewhere else and pay more.

Very grumpy man at reception - facilities highly basic - don't pay too much for this property or you may be sorely disappointed
