the breakfast selection was good there were options for everyone.
the noise was unbearable the doors and walls offer no soundproofing, a pub downstairs operates until 3 am, i could hear everything. also, the smell of smoke in the pillows was gross, i don't even smoke, i should have checked for smoking rooms. the safety box wasn't fixed and some staff didn't know basic information.
