Loud Staff, complete disregard for guests

Clean modern facilities however, If you are looking for somewhere peaceful and tranquil, we’ll continue looking because this is not it. If you the type of person that hates sleeping at night then this is the place for you Staff constantly making a noise, banging doors, laughing, screaming and this goes on until 3am.

very loud

It's an unrelenting relaxation. Because the staff talks very loudly, making noise from 2 am until 9pm. I can't sleep at all.
