Fine for 1 night alone or with a still sleeper!

Had to wait 30 minutes at 2300 to get in to the room as they use codes for the doors and couldn’t get it to work. This may have been a one off but 30 minutes to check in is excessive when there is no other way to get you into a room. You have to give lots of information to the hotel just to get the code so not great if you’re data conscious. Hotel is very clean and quiet if you get a room on the rear of the building. The mattress was definitely sinking towards the middle so you spent most of the night trying not to lay on the other person and the sheets made a lot of noise whenever someone moved. The only way I can describe them is stiff and uncomfortable. The hotel is clean and as it is cheaper than others around so I guess you get what you pay for.
