clean room great location future visit dated room unappealing view lack of staff

the room was very clean. the location was literally a stone's throw from funny girls, the purpose of my stay. i would definitely consider staying again during my next visit.

the view from the window was unappealing as it overlooked yards filled with rubbish. upon arrival, i had to call for someone to check me in and no staff was seen at all afterwards.
