We had a wonderful time here, it was quiet and an easy walk to restaurants around the area. You can occasionally hear people talking and moving around in the communal area but it was not disturbing and felt very friendly. Would book again

The property was exceptional, but the noise from the other guests kept me awake until 3 am. The guests were very loud and disrespectful. They have pretty much completely disrupted my night sleep and the overall stay. Although I liked the property I am very disappointed with the experience.
