Don’t expect to sleep Upon checkin I was out in my “Jr Suite”. It was just a room. But worse, I tried to soon and heard a rhythmic banging that was impossible to sleep through. It was so bad that I decided to see what it was. My room was DIRECTLY UNDER the gym, in a centuries old building?! If anyone is on the treadmill- you’re screwed! Anyone dropping weights, anything. Walls were paper thin. Outside of that… the place was beautiful, and fantastic location!
