The pub restaurant is good the room we got allocated was not good the noise traffic and light through curtains from street lights and day light was not good even the green light on ceiling WiFi unit was off putting and the 3 large windows in such small room is no good if you want a restful nights sleep if I was stay for longer than 1 night I would definitely asked for a room change the room was clean and tidy shame it was like this in the end !
