8/10 Good
"This is an interesting line check in hotel with no check in desk. You need to check in on line to be sent the access door codes. I didnt and it caused some disruption but I call the number and the codes were sent. This is a basic hotel. The landings and rooms are spotless. The common entrance quite grubby making entry to the hotel corridors a pleasant surprise. The rooms could do with bed side lights , but apart from that I think it was reasonable value for money. This is fairly basic in facilities and its in a light industrial area. However its really well located."
