Window would close but would not lock, as handle was missing. Due to room being directly opposite nightclub, this was a problem with noise Saturday and Sunday while trying to sleep. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

Amazing location to the parking and gunwharf quays outlet. Breakfast had good choice of items. Brilliant parking charges, free for first 24hrs, and then £2 for every day after. Air conditioning was not working, although this didn't affect us as it was pretty cold this bank holiday weekend anyways. Overall comfy and brilliant stay!
