Satisfactory stay near the university

easy accessclean roomlovely viewdistant parkingnoisy pubremote location
I followed the access instructions, and they were straightforward. The room included all necessities for a single night. I enjoyed the view overlooking the Brayford.
Parking was not nearby, inconvenient. The room sat above a student pub. Fortunately, it was closed . Shops and restaurants required a walk across the river and over steps to reach.

The room included tea and coffee. It also had a fan (always a plus!).
Parking was not close. This meant walking a bit. I had trouble getting everything to my room. Plus, there were no blackout blinds, SO I was woken up early.
