This is my third visit in approximately 10 years and the only time I’ve been bothered by noise. Not so much from the pub - we expected that - but two out of three mornings we were woken by a garbage truck or street sweeper at 5am and it was LOUD. This really impacted our stay. The hotel itself is still good value and in a great location.
