It was very noisy for me

All I was looking for a place to sleep overnight but could not sleep due to noisy 2:00 am check-in above my room. The noise lasted till 4:00am in the morning. I did complain to the night porter who was the only person staying as a staff overnight but he didn't even contact me in return for the feedback or apology. In the morning I felt very tired because not had enough sleep, spoilt my day. Other then that it looked clean, no complaints, staff can feel a bit happier apart from the guy at the restaurant who was very welcoming when I arrived.
