Music was played in the hotel gaming area which came up through the floor of our bedroom. Staff told me that they had turned it down when I went downstairs to complain however it could still be heard. They advised me it would be turned off at midnight. Pity, otherwise it was great

We had no complaints with our room, nor the food in the restaurant. And the complimentary breakfast was most welcome. You could not be closer to any of the towns amenities.
