Nice hotel but some rooms are noisy.

very nice hotel, great staff. However, the rooms on the north side of the hotel beside the main road are very noisy. It makes these rooms very uncomfortable, like sitting on the roadside. Better soundproofing on those rooms would make this such a better hotel.

The room 466 was noisy. The noise from cars on the road was unbearable. I could not sleep till 1 am when the movement of cars reduced. Again at 4am as the road got busy the noise from the cars was a torture. Those rooms parallel to the road should have noise proof windows.

Ok, thats the best I can say.

It was ok. The hotel needs some updating. The walls in our room had hand marks of self tan all up one wall, paint badly chipped, furniture well worn, stains on the carpets. I normally stay in Claytons for work and they've been great. I wouldn't stay here again.
