Rooms you can tell are on the older side. I also could hear the people above me walking around. Maybe they were heavy on their feet but it was louder than anticipated and woke me up when they returned back around 2 am. Dinner and the view of the sunset was great. Adult hot tub was not as hot as it should have been.
