Unfortunately for me there was a sports event on in the area and the hotel was packed with teenagers. Was a bit noisy until 9pm and the restaurant was very full. Avoided breakfast to avoid the crowd. Unlucky timing for me. Happy to stay again.

Shower was not the cleanest , the top of the recessed shelf looked like It had not been wiped down for a long time. The shower mixer was also worn out so it was hard to set the temp , too hot or cold and sometimes it would lose friction and fall down to the off position.
