However, some may find that heating and quilt quality are not up to standard. Overall, this property presents some functional advantages but warrants scrutiny.”

convenient stay near the town centre
safe parking town centre
I've stayed here before. the room is a short walk to the town centre shops and bars. i especially liked the safe parking. It was right outside the window.
Accessibility presented some challenges. Cars parked in front of the door made it difficult to pass with a bag.

separate lounge walk-in shower useful fridge
My room had a separate lounge with a kettle , microwave , toaster , crockery , and cutlery , also a fridge. The walk-in shower was big , I did figure out how to use it eventually. I would stay here again.
The bed was not king size , but it was acceptable for a couple of nights.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay
mold smell sewage odor
The room smelled strongly of mold. I noticed it especially in the cupboard and around the skylight. Sewage odors came from the bathroom, especially when the toilet flushed. Small towels smelled like urine after just one use.. I realize this was a 'budget room', but the stench was unacceptable.

Decent Stay with a Few Drawbacks
prime location reasonable price mold smell dirty cupboard
The location was excellent. I could easily walk to nearby attractions. I was also happy with the price, as it provided good value for the facilities offered.
The room had an overwhelming smell of mold. This was most noticeable in the cupboard, it was not a pleasant experience .
