Any noises from the hall were very obtrusive in the room. We were awoken early and found it difficult to fall asleep with a dog barking somewhere on our floor

Staff was a little too laid back for my taste. Not bad though. They were nice enough, just not super friendly or welcoming. Was an odd experience.
