On the other hand, a negative review reads: “The hotel is ok; staff are friendly and the room was clean. However the mattress was sunken and uncomfortable.
“The noise from the nightclub was intolerable. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night and the noise went on until after 3am. I slept very little.”
