spacious roomdifficult car parkinconvenient breakfast
The room was clean and spacious.
Finding the car park was difficult at first I spent a considerable amount of time driving around trying to locate it The breakfast arrangement across the road was inconvenient I would have preferred to have breakfast in the hotel itself.

late noiseearly morning noise
The room overlooked the courtyard, it was quite noisy until late at night! staff cleared up and talked loudly. I wasn't able to fall asleep easily. also, early morning noise started around 6:30 am. I think it was a delivery. the delivery staff made no attempt to be quiet.
