8/10 Good

"Nice room and the staff was wonderful. Location was not fantastic as our room is right over a pub that played loud music very late into the morning, not the hotel’s fault, but if I had realized how loud the location of our room would be, I probably would’ve opted to stay elsewhere. Overall, minus sleep, it was a great spot."
