Friendly, helpful staff and a comfortable room made this stay OK. The neighbourhood is a bit grim and the room wasn't very clean (although the bedding was clean and fresh, but the main problem with this hotel is noise. The hotel is by a very busy road, which can be heard all night long, and all the floors (in the rooms and hallways) are wood, and there are no soft furnishings whatsoever to absorb noise, so the hotel is noisy inside as well.
