Noisy plumbing system

Unfortunately we had a room above us that when used their toilet or shower the high level of noise from the old plumbing system made it difficult to sleep.

Pros:

Especially love the lightness and brightness of the Hotel. Room was a great size too, so many hotels make it feel like you are in a bunker. Super clean, lovely staff, easy location and fantastic value for money. Couldn't recommend it any higher. Just what I needed, I will def stay again.

Cons:

The only slight inconvenience was the parking in Wilson's as I had lots of bags but was still pretty close and secure.
