Acceptable stay, certain aspects require attention

unserviced room late night noise

The bed was very comfortable. The room also included a fridge.

Our room WAS NOT serviced . This is not something I have experienced before. Lots of people were coming and going late at night and it looked like there were parties in rooms.
