Noisy

Was a nice clean comfortable room but very noisy. Didn’t get much sleep due to the noise from the clubs and pubs. I should have realised when I booked it that it would have been noisy so partly my fault. My daughter had a cheerleading competition all weekend so was extremely tired on the Sunday morning performing with no sleep. Apart from the noise, was a nice hotel

Terrible experience for the cost. The checkin for the hotel is in a different hotel across the road. No heating in the room. Very stark room designed for disabled users, noisy nightclub across the road.

Was not told that there was on-going maintenance works. It started at 07:30 am in the morning which completely ruined the stay. I would not recommend this hotel. Made a complaint through Expedia and apparently the hotel didn’t even respond.
