Acceptable Stay, but Room Issues

The staff was generally nice and tried to be helpful.
My room was right next to the lift, so it was noisy. I could not sleep well at ALL (this was very annoying). There was also some kind of event with all the air conditioners outside. I wish I had been warned. Not ideal for sleep.
