Quieter to sleep on the M3?

Stayed here many times over the last couple of decades. First time since it got sold by Mercure. Worst room I’ve ever had here. No air con in summer means sleeping with the window open but it looks out onto the noisy corner of a car park so you get endless noise from cars and the shouty owners. Bed rather hard but that might just be a personal preference thing. Bathroom incredibly tired - grouting is grim and rather perished, bath panel rattling in the breeze, etc. Not untypical for this hotel as it has been looking tired for years yet still no refit.

Our room was on the Cathedral side. We could not see the Cathedral because of the trees, but we enjoyed them and the green meadow, the calm, and the bells when we opened the window. The location was super for walking to the historical sites, museums, restaurants, grocery store, and the train station.

The room we had was a good size and with good facilities(comfortable bed/bathroom etc) our only reservation was that some of the decor needs updating eg settee was worn and not very comfortable. However, overall the room was good value and our stay was thoroughly enjoyable

We had a lovely stay. The hotel room was ample, with furnishings catering to our needs. The view from our window over the cathedral was spectacular, and we appreciated the hotel's centrality; we could pop in and out as we needed. The price of the breakfast was a little steep; we only indulged once, but would have liked to more: there was a good range of healthy options available. I was really sorry to leave this excellent accommodation at the end of our holiday.
