We stayed at the hotel shortly after it opened and really enjoyed our stay, so decided to go back. Everything was as expected except the room was on the oppisite side of the halway, facing a busy road. The traffic noise was disturbing all night. Luckily it was out of season and we could move to another room the next day and it was great!
