Absolutely awful stay. Despite saying I was on crutches was given a room with a shower over a bath. Bathroom was mouldy. Kept awake by drunk ppl in the room above mine till 4am. Fire alarm went off at 7 ( or something similar) which was loud enough to just about rock the room. So bad I just left after one night despite being booked in for a two night stay
