    An obnoxiously noisy hotel experience

    12 Apr 2025

    If you're looking for a relaxing and peaceful experience, like most people staying in a hotel do, I suggest you find another hotel to book into. It is absolutely impossible to get any sleep in this hotel due to the horrendous volume the music is played at in t…
