We arrived at 9 PM, exhausted, for a one-night stay before our early departure to Machu Picchu at 6:30 AM. Upon arrival, we discovered a very loud festival happening in the soccer field next to the hotel. When I asked the front desk lady when it would end, she assured me it would be over by 11 PM.
Realizing we couldn’t sleep with the noise, we left the hotel and returned around 11 PM, only to find the festival still in full swing. We asked the front desk lady again, and she said it would end by midnight. We went to our room and tried to rest until then, but the noise was so intense the entire room was shaking.
The festival actually lasted until 3 AM, and the front desk staff left at midnight! We managed only an hour or two of sleep. If we had been informed the festival might continue past midnight, we would have chosen a different hotel. As a result, our one-night stay for much-needed rest was completely ruined.
On a less important note, the room was dusty, and since the windows were left open before our arrival, it was filled with mosquitoes and flies that we had to deal with. Additionally, the breakfast was quite unappealing.
