“I noticed some reports of noise from the bar affecting rooms, but also a staff member singled out for exceptional service and local knowledge; it seems experiences can really vary here. For travelers who value engagement from the staff, this property might be a solid option; but light sleepers beware. It's a mixed bag.”
