Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Noisy - far too noisy

There was zero sound-proofing in my room from the outside, thanks to the permanently open vents above the window, and the conversations of the late night smokers standing outside the main entrance carried into the room without interruption. I could hear every word. Then, of course, the noise of the early flight brigade shouting in the corridors began at about 5am (seriously, how can these people be so inconsiderate?). But the design of these rooms were so inadequate to cope with either. I got just a few hours sleep before my flight.
