Well located budget hotel in Carlisle centre

I have rated this as a budget hotel. It is on a par with a travelodge. Its basic and clean and does the job. It is in a good position, easy walk to city centre attractions and restaurants its 5 mins to the railway station. My son and i had a family room with a double and single bed. Its not clear from the listing that parking is availble free but you validate it at reception. I made the mistake of paying in the car park on arrival, as the signs in the car park say!

Hotel needs a good clean

Hotel is lokking a little ropey around the edges. The carpet on the corridors was filthy and needs a good clean. The lift also was quite dirty. The room itself was clean but basic. The bed however was comfortable. There was no remote for the TV so had to operate manually. Breakfast was OK but nothing special.
