Smokers were sitting in front of the property late night talking loudly. The smoking zone needs to be isolated and away from the building.

Very basic, which was o.k. for 1 night, but wouldn't have wanted to stay here longer. A large carpark, but we had to pay $5 per day for parking, which wasn't on the booking.
