Overnight to boat show.
Pros:

Nice room but due to unusual temperature, we were disturbed by sound of refrigeration plant. Manager was excellent at exploring all possibilities, including booking another hotel. After a while managed to change reservations and find us an alternative room.
Also threw in a breakfast voucher for the disruption.
Staff couldn’t have done more.

Cons:

Getting in and out is a bit of a faff but good directions given.
Services alongside were pretty busy and noisy as it was bank holiday weekend.

Not for couples. Stay away from this sh.
Pros:

Price

Cons:

Me and my girlfriend were just chatting not shouting as you normally talk, the customer in the room next to ours punched the wall the painting on the wall almost hit us in the head. One man staff came to our room to keep quiet and the hour was 12/1 AM. So you have to shut and tip toe in this garbage hotel. Avoid ar all costs unless you’re a truck driver / commuter I guess.
