Noisy A/C unit
"Our room was set up as twin beds not double so had to return to change room. New room was double but had an extremely noisy a/c unit. Couldn’t change room again because of lack of time. A bit disappointing but otherwise stay was fine. Good value gin and tonics during happy hour 4-6pm"
