Disappointed at the noise during the night- cars revving up outside, loud music blaring from car stereos. When we checked in we were told we had a very quiet room but it certainly wasn’t. Additionally, our bathroom rubbish bin had the previous guest’s rubbish in it when we arrived. Breakfast was very frenetic and disorganised. Long queues, poor service.
