Acceptable Stay with a Notable Issue

helpful staffpoor soundproofinginterior noise

Staff were friendly and helpful .

I found that noise inside the place at night was a problem because there is no soundproofing between rooms (it really bothered me). I was disturbed by people coming back late, banging doors, and general noise. The hotel did address one specific noise problem fairly quickly though, so I appreciated that.
