We were unable to sleep in the morning because we woke up to the sound of drilling on our walls which literally shook our bed and was extremely loud, Also there was lots of dust in the hallway due to the drilling, and my friend staying with me had issues breathing because of it! I’ve never had such a bad hotel experience!
