We got put in a adjoining room, the sound insulation was none existent, we got woke up by noisy neighbours at 6am., also a big bugbear, I have a CPAP sleep apnea machine which needs a 13amp supply so no socket near the bed, had to buy a extension socket to reach across the room which is a trip hazard ie health and safety issue

Centrally located. Staff are absolutely helpful and very friendly. No fault there. Be warned it is next to a busy road so if you are given a room facing the road, come very tired, or very intoxicated so you can sleep. Otherwise, if you stay longer the sound becomes white noise and helps you relax. Again, I compliment the staff - professional, friendly and make you feel very welcome.
