Cons:

The noise level was way too loud from the band. They need to rethink this as it was the night before a community games event in which a lot of families were staying for. We didnt get to sleep until 12 am after 4 hr journey

I have stayed here before, this experience was disappointing in comparison
Pros:

Location

Cons:

I checked in late by arrangement having travelled through the night. I was unable to get any sleep as planned due to constant drilling and banging throughout the day. I asked to be moved but my request was not granted indeed there no response at all.
