Friendly and helpful staff. The outside vibes are a bit scary but the room was clean and appeared to have recently been redecorated, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning functioning well. There was even a microwave, kettle, toaster and plates/cutlery to suit limited self-catering. I was a bit surprised at the lack of blanket or quilt - the bed comes with a sheet only. I was at the back so it was quiet but I think it could have been noisy if you were near the main road. Very good for the price
