They give you free earplugs in each room, and in fairness it was a little noisey, though i managed a good night's sleep without them. The hotel shook slightly when heavy vehicles were passing. The staff were excellent though and the price was fantastic, great easy parking too. Had to leave early, so i didn't have breakfast, so can't comment on food.
