3. The room we were given was on a corridor where it could be described as a party corridor, don't get me wrong - nothing against that, but when you walk down the corridor of a hotel you don't expect to hear loud music, noise and smell dope.

5. We wern't 'shown' to our rooms even though a bell boy service is available, we had to ask where the lifts are, the room was very clean & smelling nice, although very small, enough space for a bed & to walk around, en-suite bathroom a little dated although again very clean.
