The area seemed relatively rough for a hotel to be centered within, not really any choices for food, mostly take away, no cafes near by except a bagel place, bathroom had an odd smell, and the room was cramped for the price. Tv remote button for cycling through was dodgey, bed lights didn’t work, bed was alright and the staff were friendly but I never really saw anyone no one was really about I read it had a bar and restaurant but I could only find rooms.

Advertised as a 3-star hotel it is in fact a very basic B&B over a shop. Stair carpet is threadbare and the the whole atmosphere is very rundown. I usually stay at the Premier Inn which is slightly less expensive and of a considerably higher standard
