Handy location. Room was clean and tidy. Shower small, few toiletries, no face cloths, no opportunities for recycling. Only saw one staff member, (manager I think). He was friendly. A welcome bonus was the smart TV, but you had to lie on the bed to view, so the sofa (comfortable) was of little use.
