Not one to drive to!
This is a lovely easy place to stay if not traveling by car! I completely missed that bit.No parking on site which will rule it out for me in the future.
Clean, comfortable and safe, but no TV in room.

compact but satisfactory
It was fine for what I needed just a sleeping area for a quick stop over. Having a kitchen was great. For me the only issue was the lack of parking. Although there was secure parking within the premises it didn't appear to be available to me. Free on street parking was available over the weekend within walking distance but not sure about week days.

Good accommodation for price
Great value for money close to all amenities could do with a bit of updating in rooms bed not very comfortable mattress was to soft.
Shower curtain was broken didn’t go all the way round but didn’t affect having a shower other than water going everywhere other than that still a great stay for the money paid would definitely use again if I go that way again

Simple overnight stay for business
My stay here worked out really well. Got just what I expected. The accommodation was clean and easy to access. Had access to a kitchen so I could eat in rather than out and had a desk to work from. The only downside was the wifi speed was pretty poor.

Located next to a major road bridge if, as we were, allocated a third floor room, the same level as the road it is very difficult to get a good nights sleep. In addition the walls are paper thin. Staff very nice and tried to help but due to limited rooms were unable to move us to the other side of the building.

I was ignored / left outside for about 10 minutes prior my check in !! Jon was a very nice guy & made all good afterwards ! ( 2 very friendly Jon / John ,one helped a lot was Jon w/ a carp tatoo ? ) Very nice kitchen w/ a wonderful view & tv !! Very high security ! Great price ! Very humid inside ! 10 -15 min.walk to the city centere !! Bed was o.k.! Desk & window were dusty !The room was very clean!Very nice kids staying there !! A black ? young man on the ground floor helped me to enter my bld.!A good accomodation to stay for a couple of days w/ a low budget !

Good option
Check-in was easy. The personnel were always nice and helpful. However, when I checked in, the room I was assigned was dirty, and had never been made by housekeeping. That was messy, but easily solved. It seemed like a smaller room that the one I was re-assigned.
There's a lobby area and laundry access but you have to download an app and create an account in order to use the washer and dryer.
It's an okay area at night but super safe during the day.
Love that there is a water refill and hot water station with coffee and tea products in the lobby.
I was able to leave my luggage for a few hours after checking out. And it feels super safe inside the building because I needed to scan my fob in any area I accessed (usually about 5 fob areas on the way to your room). The shared kitchen area is big and there's mugs and some utensils your can use, but mine didn't have a knife so there went my plans to cut up some fruits. There's a microwave and a big refrigerator you can use.
The main issues I had were the following: no safe in the room. The shower was a horrible experience since the curtain was too short and there was no barrier separating it from the bathroom floor so the water flooded all over the place while the shower curtain kept sticking to me as I showered AND I could hear any snore or movement from my neighbor at night. And I'm sure he could hear me breathing too.
