- Craigpawson (1/5): Bad - The room was nice The fact of been kicked out and accused of selling drugs or suspicious behavior when was catching up with my mate from out of town and 2 mates popped by then got kicked out there is not way id ever stay in a place that treats people in such a rude manner

Location was very good - only a 10min walk to the square The single beds weren't to my liking but that is a personal thing
- Nick (8/5): Very good -
