Cheap stay, amenities were clean, only downside was a stain on the bottom sheet, fans only could do with air cons in the rooms as on a hot day the room would be very hot, Staff were friendly Close to other places to eat if you don’t like the menu at the pub

The room and shared bathroom was very clean and looked recently renovated. The mattress was comfortable but BYO pillow as the pillows were very flat. Only one power point in the opposite corner of the bed - staff helpfully provided an extension cable. No bedside table. Clothes rack and sink in room. No air conditioning but thankfully the ceiling fan was sufficient that night. No tea/coffee making facilities. Noise from the pub was not an issue on a school night but some noise from the street and traffic lights. Rooms 4,5,6,7 and 8 are directly opposite to the shared bathrooms so get more noise from there. Convenient location close to the hospital.
