8/10 Good
"Staff were very friendly and informative, bed was comfortable, nice to have a bath and the shower was good with high pressure and good temp control. Few critisms is room was a little dusty and could have done with a new lick of paint, and the fan was a little noisy (probably could do with AC in the future considering the rising temp in the UK) but overall I was happy with the service I got for the money, noon check out was a god send."
