The location worked perfectly for what i needed. a cheap car park was just behind, and it was free on sundays. the staff were really friendly. I loved the bar. the beds were comfy, even if the rooms were basic.
the place felt a bit shabby, not dirty. there was only one working shower room for everyone! i was like there wasn't much of a barrier to street noise when the window was open.
