Disliked: Amenities
Very old and tired.However room was spacious but bathroom in need of good scrub.Good aircon and comfy bed.
Room was not clean dirty floor. Amenities not great either bathroom down the hall seemed
unhygienic wet towel laying on floor presumed to be bathmat for all. Had one towel left in the room for both of us to shower so unable to use shower. Website did not mention that room was not self contained and that toilet and shower
were down the hall. Did not see any staff as reception closed early and we left early as we couldn’t shower

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The price, location everything you need in a room for 1 night
The trainline is close by, it was not a problem for us.
Backing in to the railway line with regular night trains will be disturbing unless you are a train spotter, the property is old and pretty creed. Good Luck!
Spacious and clean. Great value accommodation especially for a last minute booking.

The lack of information regarding the facility re Toilet Bathrooms
No kettle or cups in room had water but no glasses
As a senior person the stairs were dangerous
It may be suitable for Backpackers but they also might expect better
