"For what was effectively a room above a pub, what it lacked in finesse it more than made up for with the following:

underwhelming stay
modern roomloud musicslow breakfast service
the room was modern and well-equipped..
The loud music from the bar below made it difficult to sleep until late at night. also, the breakfast service was slow and disorganized. I waited over 40 minutes for a simple order. the lack of clear signage for the hotel entrance made it confusing to find initially.
