Best rooms
Request a room on the first floor (the top floor, since this is a single-storey motel-style property) facing away from the street. These rooms get more cross-breeze and are quieter.
For a quieter stay, request a room on the higher floors (4th floor and above) due to the hotel's address on Avenida Las Palmas. This will minimize street noise from the main road. Also, opt for rooms on the north side of the hotel, as they tend to receive less direct sunlight and are farther from the adjacent buildings.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms directly backing onto the pool or common area – they can pick up late-night chatter and early-morning splash. Also skip the room nearest the reception/office if you want quiet.
Rooms on the first floor may be noisier due to the service entrance on Avenida Las Palmas. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience some vibration and noise from its operation.
