Noise & sleep
Noise from other guests talking loudly at night is a recurring issue, though the property does enforce lights out around 11 pm.
“The guests talk loudly at night. It would be better to have silence rules.”
“It does get a little loud due to other guests not being respectful that they are in a dorm room which is for sleeping. I dont put too much blame because there really isn't a common area to be on phone, etc. But to be fair they did shut lights off around 11 pm and it got pretty quiet to my surprise.”
