the location was perfect. i found the provision of usb sockets quite useful.

the room was close to a nightclub. the noise was terrible, especially with people constantly walking past to use the facilities. this went on until late at night and i found it hard to sleep. the rooms are nice but i can't understand why they would put anyone next to a nightclub.

the room felt warm and spacious, it included a separate lounge area right on the main street, i appreciated the ample electric sockets available, water, tea, and coffee were also provided.

i found the carpet in the seating area to be a bit dirty, also there was a hoover left in the hall outside our room, it was placed on the fire exit stairs, this was not great.
