basic accommodation noise disturbance

The location was good, I could reach nearby restaurants with ease. The on-site bar was very friendly.

The accommodation felt quite basic. I booked a Standard Bungalow Fan. I was kept awake most nights because of noise from a nearby club. The breakfast fell well below my expectations.
