The adjoining room door was next to the bed. Very poor sound proofing. The next room’s conversations at normal tones sounded like they were in our room. They talked until 2:45AM. The hotel clerk did make note of it the next morning when I reported it. Hopefully they will fix the problem.

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa
We had a very nice room. It was quite dark and next to roof equipment. After the first night, our room was not cleaned. We did find someone to give us clean towels. It was cleaned the next day and we did complain to the office.
