Very Basic. Bed was OK. Only one towel which got wet as the shower had no curtain at its end, so water sprayed out. No food so I had to walk a mile and a half to a pub and back in the heat of June 21st. Not good for my age bracket (elderly). Very handy for Stansted airport (which is why I booked it) but the taxi cost me about £25 for a 7 minute trip! I wouldn't go again.
