If you are on the ground floor and the room above is occupied it is very noisy, creaking floor boards/stomping. We opted not to have our room cleaned which saves you money (4 rooms) you should reflect this in the price or offer complimentary drinks/a free breakfast. Rooms could be vacuumed better under furniture. But nice location and staff.
