Employees seem like family. They are all so kind and seem genuinely happy to work with each other. Because the rooms have hardwood floors, you can hear other people in adjacent rooms or rooms above you. Request top floor or bring a fan. The hotel should keep box fans on hand for guests. I am a light sleeper and could hear a child crying in the night in another room.
