Original room was right next to the lift, it sounded like a train all night. Got moved eventually (after a lot of back and forth). You have to be aware of the location and the people surrounding it, very intimidating during the day, and only taxi at the night (which don't drop you off right at the door you have to walk up the street as well because of the parked cars and the hotel blocking the entrance with cones).

The rooms are very basic, and feel tired and a bit grubby. Check in staff were ok, although it took an hour to get some towels and an iron (that was broken) sent to my room. Inflexible at check out, couldn’t accommodate a one hour extension.
