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’s what I expected of Town Lodge really. The accommodation is all good. But the dining experience was pretty poor. The buffet didn’t have the variety one expects of a buffet.

It was advertised as having an airport shuttle but it was actually just calling a taxi (or Uber) to pick me up. I only chose to stay there because they advertised having airport tranportation.
