Low cost, clean accomodation.

Great position, clean room with clean linen. Kitchenette with microwave and electric jug. A bedspread or bed cover would have been appreciated. Security gate locked at 10pm so after returning from a concert our car had to remain on the street for the night. Overall a clean, low cost accomodation option close to the hospital and esplanade.

Relatively cheap but very old and dated. Exterior building needs urgent clean (paths moldy and unsafe to walk on in rain) and urgent garden maintenance. Rooms good size and close to hospital.
