The king room with balcony is so nice however I could hear the people in the room next to us crystal clear talking loud and hacking up a lung while laying in bed which kept us up all night long. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again I was just upset with how thin the walls are and obviously the hotel staff cannot tell a guest to not talk in their room lol.
