This was a nice, neat property and the room was clean and functional. It was on the ground floor though so it was very loud - mostly from folks walking around upstairs. I don't think the upstairs guests were trying to be loud, just the acoustics were very echo-ey. I'd suggest trying to check in as early as possible to secure an upstairs room.
