We have used this hotel a few times and always been very pleased with it. However this time, the room we were allocated was far too close to reception and main area. (I did request quiet room away from traffic but didn’t anticipate being disturbed by other noises). We were hearing the staff chatting, laughing etc early morning and the swing doors nearby were really annoying as they were used regularly and were quite noisy and late in evening and early morning was obviously more noticeable and not relaxing or peaceful. Could also hear people coming and going from inside/outside into reception area. All that being said, staff were very friendly, room and bed very comfortable, breakfast was lovely. Would not put us off going back but would make sure it was not Room 213!
