Double glazing although expensive would help cut the noise from the nearby busy road. Fulton Hogan work crews staying at the same time, kept us awake chatting in a large group outside after 11pm.

The rooms were very clean, but they are old. The breakfast was ok, but they didn’t refill the trays when food had all gone. I felt for people who came after us, because their choices were limited
