decent location
excellent locationpublic cardated decornoisy system
the location is excellent, it's right in the heart of things. everything i needed was on my doorstep. the public car park was right next door (it cost £21 for 24 hours).
the decor and carpets were quite dated and needed an uplift. the toilet and water systems were noisy. i could hear everything from neighboring rooms.

The decor is dated. It needs some uplift.
