9. Where to start, well first of all and most probably most important was the noise, i too read of some peoples concerns over the noise but this was the best hotel at a reasonable price with parking so we thought 'the noise cant be that bad' or can it? Well it was to be honest, the road noise is constant day and night and far too loud to get a decent nights sleep, Lomard street is very busy and very loud so please bear this in mind if you book to stay here, but this wasnt the only noise issue, the hotel is non-smoking and doesnt allow pets (yeah right), so people stand outside of the rooms to have a smoke, and at 4:30am people starting shouting to each other across the courtyard whilst having a smoke.
