The room was small and dimly lit, with an uncomfortable bed and an outdated bathroom and sink. While not the most comfortable option, it’s acceptable for a brief stay.

Nice motel style room in a very quiet position. Super comfy bed. Top quality towels and linen. Great to have face cloths supplied. Bonus of a small pouch of milk was much appreciated. Well done Hotel Waterloo on rearranging booking to allow us to stay an extra night.
