I thought the room was good but i go to sleep early and start work early so need a good sleep. I was woken at 9.30 pm by young children running up and down the carpark screaming their heads off. I wanted to go out and tell them to shut up but it looked like all the adults thought it was fun so didnt want to get into a argument as they seemed drunk.
