I thought the room was good but i go to sleep early and start work early so need a good sleep. I was woken at 9.30 pm by young children running up and down the carpark screaming their heads off. I wanted to go out and tell them to shut up but it looked like all the adults thought it was fun so didnt want to get into a argument as they seemed drunk.

Room was clean and had carpet which was nice. We had residents beside us smoking quite a bit at the front door of their room and the doors are very close together. We had to keep the door and window closed otherwise it would have been filled with smoke. Also was happening at another room as well.
