mixed feelings about the stay.
loud music soundproofing absence
The noise was a real issue. i was greeted by a bouncer at check-in. I could barely hear the receptionist over the loud music and boisterous groups. the room was clean and nicely decorated! but sleeping was almost impossible because of the bass and noise from downstairs. it's hard to believe the hotel rooms are right above such a loud pub without soundproofing.

Mixed Feelings About This Hotel
loud music bar reception
The evening meal in the pub downstairs was lovely and reasonably priced.
I was disappointed by the noise. Really loud bassy music played until midnight from the bar below. This detail was not clear when I booked the room. I also found the reception area odd. It was a table in the bar where people were eating.
