When we arrived we were told that builders would be fixing the men’s bathroom and would be finished by 6:30pm, they were still fixing it at 11:30pm, very loudly opposite our room. Not very professional to keep working until nearly 12am. Had a very poor sleep because of this and had to drive very early In the morning.
