The noise was too much, so I requested a room change. However, I was informed that no rooms were available. I had an issue with my keycard even after being informed that I had to reserve a room.

The staff were less than helpful, There was no car parking anywhere near the hotel. It was student accommodation and not suitable for mature aged travellers. We chose not to stay here and found another motel.
