Breakfast receives mixed reviews.

Hotel bar can make it tough to sleep.
The hotel features its own
bar, a detail that proves popular with those guests that enjoy a nightcap.
However, the bar can be a little too lively for some. A number of guests have
reported loud music blaring from the bar until the early hours of the morning,
making it difficult to sleep at night.
