    “The most rooms are really noise! 3 rooms next to each other and you can clearly hear what other rooms doing. No carpet outside your room as a 4 star hotel?? I have to upgrade to the room with tub - almost the price of a 5-star, then it's quieter and those will be located with carpet area. I forgot my book after check out, spent 20-25 mins to get connected to the right people and no feedback yet almost after 24 hours. Can not believe it!”
