Aircons adjacent to Lodge far too noisy

The hotel was great wrt service, its modern layout/decor and the condition of the rooms, however the street facing room was facing onto a bulding /down from one whose aircon sounded like a fleet of jet engines, it was extremely loud and went on the whole night, so sadly, no sleep or rest was achieved

It is so sad that a hotel like this in a good area is so terribly let down by the restaurant. From the bad service to the almost burnt food and not getting the bill and being told I could sign and pay on checkout the next morning. Only to be woken by a telephone call at 10PM (being up from 3:30 in the morning) to ask about when I will settle the bill. When I checked out and spoke to the GM about it and eanted to pay, she could not even get them to calculate the bill properly. Only way out is that she said I did not have to pay the bill. So, IF I ever stay at that hotel again, I most certainly will not be eating at their restaurant.
