there was SOME noise from the bar below the room late in the evening and in the morning. The bathroom also wasn't really clean when i arrived, with hair and dust on the floor so it needed a proper clean.

I found the room spacious and clean. Reed diffusers created a lovely smell throughout the room. The bed was big and comfortable. I liked that the room had free bottled water.

The small car park had tiny spaces. I had to park in a disabled spot. I found it really hard carrying a heavy case up the steps into the hotel. Many people were smoking in this area.
