Disappointing 🙁
Pros:

I was disappointed they had no breakfast facilities. The meals in the bistro were great value.

Cons:

A noise policy for guests, we had to leave without staying for our third night 23rd as the guests next door spent the last two nights arguing loudly. We left after dinner and informed reception staff. No apologies were given or contact from management.
