"We were family of 3. My bed was right next to the open living setup, where sink station was right next my bed, so I couldn't sleep well, every time anyone woke up. The room setup didn't feel like family friendly. May be for a solo business traveler even though the cost was not low."

Lovely Stay
"Nice that I had a tv and a lot of space in addition to the bed. The rooms are not fully soundproof but most people are out during the day. I also liked the bathhouse on the lower level. You even get pajamas during your stay."
