Stay at river island

When we got back to our room in the evening there was a motor bike convention on with extremely loud music which was pounding into our room. When i went to complainThe manager moved us up a floor and provided earplugs and apologised. Did did actually end up getting a good night sleep and the breakfast was excellent. The staff were also very friendly.
