"The room was fine. Our problem was that after arriving at 2 in the morning, we were given a room that was already occupied! Not so much of a problem for us, but felt quite sorry for whoever we woke up. Staff seemed a bit unconcerned. Also, unfortunately never got to try the breakfast because we had to leave early."

"The traffic noise from the motorway was bad in the morning luckily I had my ear plugs. Also in the night about 1am and 3am there was a lot of noise from other people, it went on so long that I opened the door and told them to shut up. The room was good overall, easy to cast to the TV, good shower, espresso capsule machine, there was a dark hair in the bed and on the coffee area which was kinda gross. The restaurant was good service and food and the reception staff were very helpful."
