The staff were unfriendly, no breakfast, people above us were extremely noisy, the area is unsafe, they gave us one bed short and when requested one we were told to wait for the manager the next day resulting in one of us sleeping on the floor! Will never stay here again! If you do decide to stay here one night is more than enough!
