Acceptable, But Noisy
poor soundproofing noisy deliveries
The noise levels were a problem. With no soundproofing I heard every word from the bar below until late. Deliveries began early with drivers shouting outside my window, they just don't seem to care about sleeping guests. The room felt a bit shabby overall, and breakfast availability was oddly restricted.

poor soundproofing standard food
The noise levels were unacceptable!!! My room was right above the bar and every single sound carried through. Conversations, clinking glasses, and doors slamming kept me awake. Delivery drivers shouted early in the morning. They have no consideration . I expected more soundproofing. It is a basic requirement. The food also disappointed. It was just standard fare, not at all worth the price!!!
