early closuremusic festival

the bouncers did not let me back in after midnight (it was during a music festival). i begged for 15 minutes, but they did not make any exceptions. i think that is too early to close during the blues festival. it was very disappointing (my friends were still inside!).

the location was right on the seafront, acceptable.

We were woken early by children screaming and even louder adults shouting and fighting, and this came from the room directly below us. It continued for quite some time, i went down to reception to report this racket, and the girl apologized and said she would investigate and update me, but i didn't get any feedback..
