Loud noise no sleep!

Had very bad night sleep very loud vibration behind the bed in the wall , we looked to see whether there was a switch to turn off air conditioning system that we hadn’t noticed ( was still awake at 2:50) there wasn’t. We told the manager )?) in the morning he said Yes I noticed this morning someone hadn’t turned off the fans which make a very loud noise in room 3. Sorry. Well that didn’t make up for the fact we hadn’t had any sleep!!!!!! Shame as the lady behind the bar jolly pleasant as was the young lady serving breakfast in the morning. We wouldn’t sadly recommend the pied bull as we had any sleep !!!!

The deluxe room was basic. Room was a good size but the bed was uncomfortable with a lumpy mattress. For the price paid I would have expected a better standard.

Room was fine. Food was subpar. A lot of stairs and long way to room. Best part of stay was ease of getting a taxi.

Bar was extremely busy and it took some time for a member of staff to notice me stood there and to complete check in. Also no heating in room other than a plug in heater. Not good.
