Loads of space, nice room, clean bathroom. Bed was mostly clean, a few stray fibres and it was also a bit springy feeling but the rest was great. Staff helpful and nice, check-in reasonably pain free, centrally located

Room was clean but the room configuration is all wrong, there’s a metal beam above the bed which you could easily bang your head on, they should have put the bed at the other end with the TV on the other wall and the room is too dark in colour
