The staff were amazing, very clean hotel! However we stayed on the first floor in a room close to the external door on the 1st floor and every time someone left the hotel the door would slam so loud it would wake us up. Not sure if an improvement can be made to the door or limited the usage but it was very difficult to get any rest when it was slamming and rattling our room all night
