I have listened to drilling and sawing as there was work being done to a restaurant by the pool. From morning during breakfast to all day by the pool was spoiled by the sound of drilling and sawing. I would never had booked had I know. And given I mentioned it to the team shame on them for not making any adjustments to the bill
