We could hear the traffic a little from the motorway which is close - nothing that was too annoying but it was there.
Our room had the most comfortable bed and pillows that I've experienced in a hotel. I didn't want to leave.

The shower pressure for a 5 star hotel was very poor and disappointing. Large stain on duvet. That's all.
Room was lovely, was able to check in very early after a long birth the previous night and no sleep. Bed was comfy, complimentary nespresso was great, Bose sound link, clean.

The breakfast choice was fair and the cooked breakfast either took too long or came too quickly. It was also over salted. More fresh fruit was expected.
