Mrs Potts is super cute. I appreciated the privacy curtains on the beds and found the place to be unique. The location is great for accessing buses, trains, and just walking. There are restaurants, fast food, convenience stores right there. And it is near plenty of tourist attractions. Laundry service is available for a fee, which is convenient. I would definitely stay again.
