So noisy that getting any sleep is out of the question. Housekeeping yelling up and down the hallway, slamming doors and being obnoxiously loud. Because of the racket I checked out a day earlier than planned and because the reservation was done through booking.com the receptionist said she could not issue a refund. So I guess I’ll cut my losses and try to get some sleep at a rest stop, after paying 120 a night for this room.
