We booked for three nights. First night was fine. But like a night the restaurant next to the property live loud music. We could barely hear ourselves talk. The next morning we asked to change rooms. The staff was excellent and accommodated our request. However, the room we were put in was on the first floor and the heater/air conditioner was so loud that it was really annoying. Not good at all. So overall, the staff were very good but the facility and location next to that restaurant was very bad.
