This place was perfect for what we needed. Really good value for the price you pay. They kindly allowed us to check in early as we were attending an event at the Prospect Building that ran across their official check in hours. Bed was comfy and sheets were clean. Some noise from the pub and busy high street, but this was obviously expected and did not bother us at all. Would definitely stay again.
