Location is fantastic and the staff are friendly, but this room in particular was rather grubby.
Under the bed had old rubbish and a thick layer of dust. The bed itself was ill-made with un-tucked sheets pulling to reveal old hair and skin in the mattress lining, and a weird divet where other people had slept. Walls dirty, bathroom scummy, stickers remained on the mirror from long-term occupation, and the air vents were filthy.
On the plus side, was still a comfy, private bed significantly cheaper than renting someone's spare room. Have slept in worse and will probably book with Essence again at that price.
