Best rooms
If you're a light sleeper, request a room on the higher floors (4th or above) at Fir Tree Lodge. The hotel's location on Highworth Road, a main road in Swindon, means that lower floors may experience more street noise, especially from passing traffic and occasional passing trains. Since the hotel has lift access to all floors, you can avoid worrying about stairs. However, keep in mind that higher floors might be further from the hotel's amenities.
Request a room on the ground floor for easier access to wheelchair-accessible rooms and amenities.
Rooms to avoid
If you're sensitive to noise, avoid rooms near the lift, especially those on the ground floor. The lift is likely to be located near the entrance and may cause a humming noise or vibrations. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or rear of the hotel might experience noise from nearby service areas or deliveries.
Avoid rooms near the lift, as it may be noisy, especially if you're a light sleeper.
