Acceptable Stay with Some Drawbacks

road noise firm bed
The staff were helpful, particularly with directions to local attractions.
My room faced the car park, which detracted from the location. The noise from the nearby road was noticeable and interfered with sleep. The bed was too firm for my preference, but the condition of the mattress was acceptable.
