    Overall it was an okay stay but feel the price for what we got was ridiculous. The walls are really thin and felt like I couldn’t speak to my friend without possibly disturbing others. The room looked like it hadn’t been hoovered found a bobble and kerbie grip on the floor, there was a bag in the drawers and a spray in the cupboard that looked like it had been there for ages! The bathroom and kitchen was very clean tho. I found the beds quite hard but did manage to sleep no bother my friend is slightly bigger than me and found it uncomfortable and the bed made a noise every time she moved. Only spoke to staff on arrival and checking out but they were really friendly and nice. …
