Easy check in. Rooms were warm and clean. Fairly quiet but you can hear others walking past rooms. Rooms are basic but the place is pretty central. Stayed to go to a gig at hydro which was a 20 minute walk so just needed a bed for the night rather than legging it for the train. Would book again.

It was cheap and centrally located. Carpet was torn and messed up, needs to be replaced. Bed was comfortable enough. Key stopped working. Husband got a new one and they didn't check id or any room information. This could be a safety issue.

City stay

Central location. Big room but very hot and as in basement window didn’t open much. No shared kitchen which would have been useful as a large family.
