i found the staff very cute as i arrived. the beautiful facilities were a great support. i also enjoyed the central location being close to everything.
the loud music played all evening was audible in my room. the constant sound of chairs being scrapped from above was annoying. the noise pollution was unacceptable for a hotel.
