Break away
Pros: Location good large bed, but car parking considerable walk away Cons: Very poor night's sleep on second night. Despite only request quiet room and prepared to upgrade, Arguing from room next door shouting banging swearing until 3.25 am, when guests were thrown out of hotel. Reported to reception next day only to be informed the hotel had issues with guests in past!!!
