Basic but cheap
The place was basic, and exactly what I expected for the price, as I only really wanted a base to sleep for a couple of nights.
Good points were:
They had provided a fan, which I was really glad about with the temperature being 34 over the weekend I was stopping.
I could come and go as I liked, with no time restrictions as I was given a key to the front door.
There was a fridge in the room so I could buy drinks from the Tesco next door and chill them myself.
The man on reception when I booked in was very friendly.
Bad points:
The fridge threw out so much heat it actually heated the room substantially with it being such a small room.
The cotton linen was fitted over what felt like plastic coated matress, pillow and quilt, so with the room being so hot it made the bed wet from sweat and I really struggled to sleep.
On the Monday morning a lorry came to empty the bins at quarter to 2 in the morning and made no attempt to be quiet and woke me, after I had only managed to drop off shortly before.
I needed a shower when I woke as like I said above, I was sweating but with the bathroom being shared, I didnt feel I could shower at that time in the morning as it was unfair on other residents.
There location of the place is good being zone 6 so a travelcard is valid and it is just a 10 min walk to the train station.
Loads of places to eat
All in all, the main issue was the heat, which was beyond the control of the hotel, but there were things that could of been done to have helped.
