free car park reception area friendly check food service sanitary pump noise problem

the free car park was a good size. the reception area looked nice. the check in process was friendly. the rooms was smart enough. new bathrooms were present and the rooms were spotlessly clean.

the website indicated food service from 12pm to 9pm. we arrived early and wanted lunch in the bar. i was told the chef would arrive at 5pm. some sort of sanitary pump caused noise all day and night. my partner hardly slept because of this noise.
