Cumberland Hotel

bed was comfy

we were given room 6 on the lower ground floor. they didn’t tell us some rooms including ours were under the ballroom. The noise was horrendous, not just the music being loud, but the entertainer who appeared to be running all over the floor in what sounded like hob nail boots. this went on till 11 pm. we could not hear our t.v. even and having a doze was out of the question till the racket above stopped. those rooms should never be used for paying guests and we got very little sleep. We had asked about parking and was told no problem and that we would be given a parking disc which would allow us to park outside on any of the disc zones, neglecting to tell us we might have to park almost half a mile up the road, which we did have to do. On checking out, I confronted the receptionist about the loud noise and banging from the ball room which incidentally is used all week for various entertainment, and was told that was the only room they had left. parking debacle because we would have cancelled any likely booking straight away.
