2.0Brandi· Extended GroupMay 2026
Average
+Noisy and unsafe
–Our room door didn’t lock People were banging on our door as they walked past - it was so noisy late at night during quiet time. No point escalating to reception because by the time we did the people had moved on. The door didn’t lock and the reception didn’t seem to care or want to help us move…
