Initially, I was unhappy with my stay due to my room being right above Lou Lou’s where a wedding was taking place. The walls and floor vibrated and rattled and the music was loud. I understand that this hotel is party hotel more than a relaxation hotel but the noise was too much especially being right above it. I told management and they moved me to a nice bungalow and made my stay complimentary which turned my negative experience into a positive one. Talk about customer satisfaction! I appreciate the accommodation.
