The traffic can get noisy as of busy road. Monday morning a construction sight had noisy trucks and fortcliffs. So best to stay friday and saturday night. Unless a heavy sleeper. Nice and clean. Do need some upgrades for electric jug and the mugs were very small. The sheets were not very soft but other than that very pleased and nice services. Very clean and tidy.
