"was good for a single night based on price range."

7.0

It is located close to Dorchester South railway station so that was a plus and also many restaurants are close to the hotel. like 5 mins of walk tops.

Bed was to soft for my lower back issues but that is my personal problem. Bigger problem for me was that the room has almost no sound insulation. This resulted me waking up 2-3 times during the nigh clearly hearing conversations happening on the corridor in front of my room just as other guests walked by.
