Was noisy up to midnight due to base music from local night life. The hotel is trying to get the noise reduced. Couple of things requiring repair in the room. Towel rail loose. Slow close on the toilet seat not functioning. Suggest a toilet brush so guests can do a quick clean if it is soiled. Also three ply toilet paper to match the standard they are trying to portray. One ply loo paper is public toilet standards. Need to factor in the cost of car parking it using your own vehicle. Good location if you want to be right in the city centre. Room was comfortable.
