The hotel itself was brilliant. However the extremely loud guests in the hallway in the middle of the night weren’t. If people are checking in or out to go flights at all hours maybe a reminder is needed that the walls aren’t soundproof and waking up the whole floor is not appropriate

We happened upon the hotel in the midst of a rebrand. The Quality Inn branding still appeared on the digital boards at each floor offering a happy hour between 5 and 7. The bar staff were unaware of the happy hour. The tap beers were not working but they honoured the offer with $2 off bottles of cider. There was a couple of tours in the hotel and we were placed in a adjoining room with a locked door beside a group of men talking and smoking/vaping. It is of course against the rules of the hotel to smoke/vape. We complained and the hotel was happy to relocate us to a very quiet end of hall room which was much nicer. The beds were very comfortable.
