Ok for the price.

Helpful staff bur poor location in a run-down area. For what we paid it was ok. The room wasn't particularly clean but the bedding and towels were excellent. All the door hinges would benefit from some oil as they squeaked loudly when guests left in the early morning. All the loo seatas moved about and need tightening. These are just a couple of small points but would add to the comfort of a stay.

Curtains did not fit. There was a large stain on the carpet from unknown origin. In the drawers there appeared to be mouse droppings. The light over the sink did not work. The bedding was clean. The person who we spoke to was helpfull. Cheap however.
