Okay Stay. Could Have Been Quieter

cigarette smoke noisy stags
The location was ideal, so everything I wanted in town was just a five-minute walk away.
It was too noisy due to a stag and hen weekend. Stags shouted at 3 a.m. I was over the outside area and could smell cigarette smoke in my bedroom. Builders were there making noise in the morning. I was not aware this would happen. The seating area could have been cleaner, too.
