We would have liked to have known how noisy it would have been.I think we were by a work elevator?very noisy 11-12pm then started at 6 am..not the rest I wanted.

Ascot Park Hotel
The room was great, as expected for the price, however the cost of food was ridiculous. The location is a little bit away from the center of town, and they're sure taking advantage of that to jack up the in-room food prices.
