We had an issue with the entrance door. We shut & locked it at night but it was ajar in the morning (nothing missing). We then shut it and it was opened again by 2 strangers who appeared to be "opening the wrong unit". I tried to report it to reception upon checkout but the lady was foreign and didn't appear to understand what I was saying.

Clean room. Made up daily. The noise from the road can be loud at night. The room was a tad outdated, but definitely nice and clean. I’d happily stay there again.

Hotel is nice and for most parts quiet. The property does have a Train line opposite it, and was a touch noisy in the middle of the night with the odd freight train. Other than that it is a lovely property that I would not be beyond staying at again.
