Fabulous hotel but noisy guests

The hotel, the location and the staff were all really good. The only downside was the weekend we chose to go there happened to be when there was some motorbike convention. We were on the 5th floor with a sea view only to be woken at 7.30 each morning by revving motorbikes.
