Cheap
As a cheap crash hole near the station and town centre it’s great. But the room was very tired and pretty dirty. Shower had lots of pressure and hot water and wi fi was good

TV turned on automatically during the night.
Both nights that I slept in the hotel, the TV turned on automatically while I was sleeping. I checked and there was no alarm set on the TV. It turned on to a bright white screen with instructions to share my screen to watch from my phone to the TV.

horrible, smelled of urine, no TV, cold shower
Very disappointing; TV didn't work & I was told there's nothing they can do as they're fully booked & TV person has gone home. Toilet smelled of urine as if it needed a good clean & as the bathroom door didn't shut (swollen with damp) the whole room smelled of urine. The shower was sadly only just warm even on the 41 degrees setting, not hot enough to wash effectively. Bed was comfy but I won't be back.
