2. When we first arrived we drove through a very seedy area with lots of vagrants and homeless people,the staff at the reception were very welcoming and helpful,The hotel itself is quite nice and the room we were given was nice and clean but a bit small,we overlooked a sort of courtyard with rooms full of mattresses etc and lots of pidgeons,not a good view at all,but we closed our blind and didnt take much notice ,we was a bit disappointed as we would like to of had a room with a bay window but we have since found out that they face a busy street so maybe we were lucky to have the room we were given.
