satisfactory stay

good breakfast helpful staff hard mattress street noise
the breakfast was good with cooked to order options. the staff were very helpful and provided plates when i ordered a takeaway to eat in the hotel. i appreciated this.
the mattress felt quite hard, it affected my sleep a bit. i also found the outside noise to be noticeable. the single glazed sash windows let in a lot of street noise.
