Very noisy. Asked for a different room as we could hear the conversation word for word.next door and a baby screaming and crying. Breakfast buffet was out of food and drink in many areas. No sausages, no bacon, no butter and no orange juice.

Rooms- in particular the bathroom- needs to be updated with modern design and functionality for the price. The lobby has been refreshed but rooms don’t match the lobby update. The buffet breakfast was average, the staff seemed run off their feet and struggled to maintain stock. Staff were all friendly and provided great service.

The lack of undercover parking was frustrating. It meant we had to park next to a homeless man that had camped outside a business and had started a fire to keep warm. We felt sorry for him and his predicament.

The hotel is great for the price and the beds & pillows are very comfortable. In my room, the AC was loud, and there were no knives and forks or plates - so for travellers bringing their own food on premise, please note to bring your own or ask at reception.
