decent room, some noise issues

good breakfastloud musicboiler room
the breakfast was quite good, with a nice selection.
My room faced the street and there was loud music coming from a nearby place. It stopped around 11:30 pm. worse, the room backed onto what seemed to be a boiler room and it made noises all night. i told the staff the next morning and they said they would pass my concerns on but it ruined my sleep.

Wonderful Stay with Excellent Service

great hospitalityfriendly staffpricey drink
I appreciated the great hospitality. The breakfast offered many choices and high quality ingredients. Staff were very kind and friendly, ensuring every need was met. The location made access to local attractions easy!
I found drink prices for wine and beer were pricey, costing £16. This cost seemed high compared to other places I have visited. Perhaps reviewing the pricing structure would be beneficial.
