an okay stay, i guess

constant partypoor cleaning
Our room was on the ground floor. It was a constant party outside with staff laughing and shouting during shift changes, , made restful sleep impossible. The cleaning wasn't great either, and the breakfast staff seemed eager for us to leave the breakfast room quickly
