Our room was so cute and it was QUIET! It feels like you’re in a little hidden corner on this property. The only issue we had was with the next day room service. The door hanger said to hang it on your door before 11pm for the next morning room service. We had ours on there at 9:30pm and expected to wake up to breakfast by 8. The door hanger was still hanging on our door so I guess staff forgot to do their rounds to grab it. I mentioned it to the front desk and they said they’d let their staff know. We got Starbucks breakfast instead.
