The staff are nice and the room is big. The bldg is old and so the noises from the dripping shower faucet, loud hum from the AC and the kid’s footsteps (running back & forth) above us caused sleepless night. The family with small kids should be given rooms on the ground floor and not just for those guests with pets.
