Well located. Pleasant staff. Room was clean and functional, as was the shared bathroom. Other guests in the property seemed much at ease. Would consider booking here again.

6/10 Good

The staff here were lovely and welcoming, however when we went to the room the trash bin was full, and there was rubbish on the floor, including an unused tampon. When we stripped the beds at the end of the stay for washing, one of the beds had both pee stains and blood stains on the mattress cover.
