Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It's a very basic but clean hotel, the only problem is the noise from other guests who turn up all hours and forget to keep quiet, and on the ground floor there was a, lot of arguments from people in the car park. Heathrow charges far too much money for the pod £8.25, disgusting. But I knew this before using it.

Avoid - very dated hotel, looks like a prison layout from the outside. Inside the room, blood on the mattress, stains all over the sheets. Also no plug sockets by the bed!
