It was a lovely stay. Initially I worried when I saw the train go by right out side the window, but it ended up being a non issue as it was not noisy in the night.

Great price great location. Everything we needed. Only drawback was close to the train. They provide earplugs, but we found if you keep the window windows closed the noise isn’t as noticeable..

Easy check in. Nice walk into town centre. Close to lots of different places to eat/drink.
Bed was lovely and big. We were able to make coffee and take it in the car with us to watch sunrise when up early with jet lag!

Clean, have a dining locations upstairs which is cool, location was great you could see the amazing view of the mountain and walkable all over the place. You could hear the train but it doesn’t bother me. This hotel was very nice. Highly recommended
