Oh goodness me Kaz - no wonder you hated the place! Ok maybe you didn't say hated it but anyway... sounds rough

Yeah we definitely had a good thing with the rooms and the number of kids. It was even better for us in that DS and I had rooms off the main eating area but there was a door I could close and we were shut off from everything. That was a bonus. (ETA - I also had my own bathroom, score! Everyone else had to share... two families per bathroom I think) Otherwise there were rooms that were in closer proximity to other families and babies, but I think only one person commented that she'd been woken up by one of the unsettled bubs crying overnight.

I find it really odd that they send you away for the first two nights. I agree that it would be a bit counter-productive... who knows
