The walls are not at all sound proof. We could here our neighbours talking at a normal volume in the next room and we got to listen to their baby cry all night long too (not their fault. That's what babes do sometimes).
To top things off...There was no breakfast on Sunday morning as advertised.

The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. The free breakfast was a muffin, yogurt and a juice box. Different places to eat close by. We would stay there again

The beds were clean, the room was warm when we got there. The floor had stuff on it (I'm assuming tracked in by the cleaning staff) but I was wearing slippers so it was fine.
It was Ok, just Ok. There was no heat in the room. The place is old and run down. It was one of the cheaper hotels, but even that is too much for what they offer. Tumbs down.

Room was fine but the snow clearing in the middle of the night (~3am) included very loud music.
