10/10 Exceptional

The room I booked online turned out to not be available so the chap at the hotel kindly offered me two rooms for price of one to fit us all in. And bed was very comfy.

2/10 Poor

I told staff was working night shift so ask for later checkout which they kindly excepted with no extra charges, but then in the morning at 830 the tradesmen started a jackhammer in the room next to me as they were programmed to do renovations the room adjoining. So I had 2.5hrs sleep Not very smart at all when I told them I was working nights !!!!
