Road Noise

I stayed three days and they put me next to the busiest roadway when other quieter options were available. Most guests stayed one night while on a guided tour.

Stayed many times always clean, comfortable and quiet, 3 coaches there on Saturday night which caused problems with parking being tight and us being blocked in, however resolved quickly with the driver, check in staff lovely as always, haven’t eaten dinner or taken breakfast the last 2 trips as find it not as good as it has been historically so can’t comment on that, but an excellent hotel for a warm cosy convention location

The property is in an interesting locality with good dining options and tourist attractions. Unfortunately no lift available to ùpper floor accommodation. Shower cubicle was very small and unfortunately there was no cold water from the mixer the night I used it and got scalded feet.

No soundproofing in rooms, and had constant noise throughout the night, beds were hard and extremely uncomfortable. Sleep and comfort are key ingredients for an overnight stay, and this hotel FAILED.

No soundproofing, bring earplugs

The walls are paper thin so you hear everything. The bathroom of the room next to you is the other side of the wall to the bed, so all night all I could hear was our neighbour going to the loo even with earplugs in. Constant tour bus groups coming in. Bed was rock solid too. Would have been an okay stay if the room had some soundproofing.
