average stay with some issues

excellent choicehard bednoisy room
the food is great and breakfast buffet has an excellent choice
on arrival the receptionist was friendly and cute. I got the keys to my room and headed off back to the car park. This is where my room was it was very noisy with traffic and people talking. The bed was too hard and the pillows where hard and soft it was odd.
