Acceptable, but with some issues

loud noise failed window
The noise REALLY got to me. I could hear everything from the street because of failed window panes. One drunk guest next door made it even worse. I could hear every word. I expected better soundproofing.

Quiet Comfort

friendly staff convenient location
the staff was friendly and accommodating. i found the location convenient for accessing nearby amenities. the car park at the rear provided stress-free parking.
i noticed road noise was louder than expected due to a faulty window pane. the lack of acoustic insulation between rooms was evident with a noisy guest nearby.

broken window panes road noise
the location on the main road wasnt ideal. some double-glazed window panes seemed broken, and the road noise was quite loud, i thought. a drunk guest next door made me think the rooms lacked sound insulation. considering the noise, the room seemed a bit pricey honestly.
