Nice hotel in pedestrian zone

Nice hotel in the center of Rugby, within walking distance of lots of places to eat. It's an old building and thus doesn't have double glasing, so it was rather cold at night. The heating wasn't on as it was only September. For the rest, the hotel is nice enough, room was small, bed was comfy and bathroom was clean. Staff was friendly.

The customer service was great, and the cleanliness and general order was on par with most at this price point. They were accommodating of us bringing a pet, even if this did come with a non-advertised charge. However, I booked this stay in preparation for a very important interview day, and found myself consistently disturbed by the quite audible noise from other residents and the alleyway below, during the nighttime and daytime. I would attribute this to rather thin walls and no soundproofing measures on the windows or doors. I was woken at 5:15am to the sound of a large vehicle and smashing glass, most likely the local council just doing their job, but this and the other noise really dampened my stay. It was also noticeable there was some clear staining on the ceilings and a partially unattached toilet seat. Overall, not great, perhaps good?

the rear room was fine, but the window was single-glazed with '60s louuvre ventilation which let in all the noise - traffic from warwick street and hilmorton road, and loud bottle and rubbish collection at 4am. there was no advertised times for breakfast. their website says their rooms have "Flat screen, digital TV with over 100 channels plus you can cast from any device", but for the life of me i could not cast from my phone and there were no instructions on how to. also, the tv guide function was a couple of hours ahead, i.e. at midnight it seemed to think it was 2.30am. scrolling through the guide was pitiful. in the end i had to be content without the tv altogether. i asked to see the ballroom, which the duty manager was pleased to show me. it stank of air-freshener which to my mind was to mask a worse smell of mustiness. the bed and linens were really comfoetable, and the en-suite was excellent. but you gotta do something about those wndows. i just don't buy that yiu can't do anything about it just because it's a listed building.
