This room was very basic but could have done the job if (I’m guessing) the maintenance staff weren’t banging, yelling abuse, coming and going constantly, entertaining, and get drunk or off their face on drugs in their area right next to the room we were allocated at all hours of the night No other staff on site at night Not a wink of sleep for us and an earlier flight… do not recommend, things need to change!
