Mattress was firm.
Noisy and holes in the walls. To plug the kettle was difficult, didn't stretch far to socket. TV did not work. Towels were hard.

Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
The attitude of the female host. The cleanliness of the room. The cleanliness of the hallway & reception area. The parking facilities. The general feeling of the area.

Not as bad as reviews said
For one night it was fine. I wouldn't use it for a holiday, but for business or short stay it was ok.
Curtains could be thicker. Was woken at half 6 by sunlight

Get new towels
The wi-fi speed was decent
The towels are pre-cambrian with holes the soze of pangea and need to be replaced. There were chunks of food and cigarette butts on the window ledge (outside). TV didn't work. Walk-through was rushed and rude.
