The staff was very cooperative. the rooms offered good value for the money, and the location was nice. a lot of food options were nearby. That was really handy after a long day.
The hotel looked a bit run down. the decor seemed dingy and dated. i slept above the covers as i wasn't totally sure about the bed's cleanliness. I probably should have checked properly..
