"My room on the ground floor was noisy from people talking at reception and in the passage. Room was clean and well presented but a few things including the security chain were tired and not working. Security chain replaced without question when I brought it to attention of desk staff. Room needs a bit of preventative maintenance. Very convenient location ."
