Staff very corteus, the room was quite small - but that was expected.
The only issue is the room was very warm - so warm we had to open the window in November.
There was no way to regulate the temperature

The room was good. But, there was no lock for the toilet. The door kept opening while you are having a shower or the other thing. That made me uncomfortable. The shower was tooo hot. Even when I turned the nob to cold, it is either ice cold or boiling water. I had to splash water on to my body instead of having a shower.

6/10 Good
Good-very warm which would be great in winter but uncomfortable in the warm weather. Fortunately I had brought my fan as there was no way to cool the room-bathroom was clean and surprisingly spacious. The kettle provided could have done with a good clean and descaling so I avoided using it. Short walk from the station- also has good transport links. Easy check in process with helpful staff.

Very tired property
It’s just a collection of odd rooms in a house. Furnished rather poorly it’s not the sort of place you would want to spend all day sheltering from the rain, even if the facilities were there to do so.
Very very basic room but well cleaned.

Safe, quiet location. Moisture issue in the bathroom/shower (mild mold). Great water pressure, though. Clean, but very loudly creaky bed. TV was a non-starter. Easy to get everywhere.
