How noisy is the location on the High Street?

Expect significant street noise, especially evenings and weekends. Ground and first-floor rooms are louder. Upper floors are quieter. Double-glazing helps but doesn't eliminate sound entirely. Light sleepers should request top floors or consider quieter hotels elsewhere.

Is there parking available?

No on-site parking. Public car parks are within 5 min walk: Whitefriars Car Park (£1.40/hour) is nearest. The hotel provides parking information. Street parking is difficult in the High Street area. Budget travellers often use the train instead.
