2/10 Poor

Outside of my room was noisier than Oxford Circus, drunk people fighting and shouting until 2 AM requiring three separate phone calls to reception. I got zero sleep. I honestly have never stayed in a hotel with such continuous and unreasonable noise for so long, leaving me exhausted the next day.
