constant humextraction fans
The room wild rose was above the kitchen. i had a constant loud hum from extraction fans. this room should not be used. Customers should be warned about it. i couldn't change my room, even with new customers arriving next morning. i was very disappointed.

mixed feelings about the stay

loud musicbad sound insulation
The live music was loud. It was directly below the room. i could hear every word and the bass made the room shake! i complained, but they said it would end at 10 pm, though it actually stopped at 10:25 pm only after i complained again. it reminded me of the staff were more interested in partying than ensuring guests could sleep. I thought the sound insulation was bad.
