"Great hotel. Was unfortunately placed in a room next to a noisy carpark next door. Had tyres screeching all night waking up my young family. Not a great sleep and we were exhausted. Tried to convey that issue with reception but they just fobbed it off and could have relocated us as the place wasn't overrull. They didnt want to assist which is a shame. Best you check.yiir rooms of it ends with a 9 10 11 steer away its the carpark side of the building.. .."
