Pros:

Staff lovely, breakfast was beautiful and hot

Cons:

I cannot believe that it was like a rave in my bedroom all night. I travelled for work for a very important meeting and had not slept at all. I even used your earbuds and put pillow over my head - absolutely terrible. You either need to sound proof the rooms or cancel it being a hotel because you cannot sleep.
