Good value. Room very overheated and stuffy on arrival and it was very difficult to get a window open, then it only opened a crack. Had to have fan on by window whole time to try to waft the minimal cool, fresh outside air into room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was disgusting, wall papper hanging of ceiling and walls, also stained with what looks like water marks, cobwebs round the windows and what has to be the most uncomfortable bed with only 1 pillow each which was lumpy and as hard as concrete, paint peeling off the walls, and drafty is an understatement, the windows are as rotton as hell, the place needs a co.plete refurbishment offthewalls, 1pullow each
