Not too comfortable

Mattress was really poor and pillows uncomfortable. Some staff really friendly (check in on Friday), others didn't even acknowledge you were communicating with them (black uniform at desk on Monday check out 11am). When checking in I was told check out was 11am, extended my stay by one night (only as the trains back to London were having issues on Sunday) and was not informed check out was earlier on weekdays, so housekeeping walked directly into my room at 10:30 - not housekeepings fault, I should've been informed of this by front desk when I changed. The upstairs guests were incredibly loud through the night and it was a real disturbance. Nice bathroom suite, rare to have a bath for that price. Definitely a budget stay.
