Early morning problems

After a late flight, we got in early hours of the morning we were checking out, to find only one of the two rooms had been booked. The receptionist did find us another room but is going to contact hotels.com to find out what the error is. After about 3 hours sleep, the bin lorry emptied the bins between 6-6:30 waking us up.
