i found the location was great to walk to the town centre. the staff were very friendly and they accommodated my needs well. i enjoyed the pretty communal areas.
my allocated room was dirty (i was quite shocked). the toilet still had faeces and toilet paper in it. i was relocated to another room, but i never got a proper explanation.
