the people who stayed next to us let there children play with my classic car which was parked outside my room in the correct park. when i told the child to leave it alone he cried to his mother who then barged into my room and threatened to assault me. after i calmed her down her other son was heard by the cleaning staff saying he was going to damage my car and i caught him with a knife trying to get close to the car without me noticing so he could damage the paint. I felt very unsafe and my classic car was nearly damaged. I realize that you cannot vet your clients behavior when they arrive but i was horrified, doubt I'd be game to stay there again with the car.

The room we stayed in was noisy, my bed was hard and the pillows were too high. Didn't sleep much maybe 4hrs due to feeling uncomfortable and the street noise.
