"If you’re sensitive to noise, my recommendation would be to stay elsewhere. All the other reviews about noise level were on point. Because of the layout of the hotel, the restaurant courtyard is right in the center and noise level from there travels to the rooms. It doesn’t help that they play bass heavy music at the bar till 11pm even though they state on their website they have a strict no noise policy. On one night music went past 11pm and we had to call multiple times before they turned it off. If you stay on the ground floor, you would also have to contend with the creaks from the room above and it can get pretty bad depending on who stays there. So basically our sleeping hours were at best from 11pm-6am. When we made note to the front desk, our comments were greeted with disdain. So condescending and patronizing by this lady Monica who apparently is the manager. And I’ve read another bad review about her. If she doesn’t like to be friendly maybe don’t be in the hospitality industry? When we checked out, she never even said thank you. Despite of the lack of example Monica sets, everyone else was lovely. They were polite, welcoming, helpful, and simply a pleasure to be around. The hotel also provides good amenities. The breakfast is tasty and offers good choices. They tidy your room twice a day and leave cookies in the evening. They have a hotel car that can drive you locally. They have glass bottled still and sparkling water in the room along with nuts and caramel. If noise isn’t a concern for you and you don’t have to interact with Monica, definitely consider this hotel if you like proximity to the restaurants and shops."
