Best rooms
Upper-floor rooms facing the courtyard or the bay, ideally ending in 07 to 12.
Rooms on higher floors (8-10) are recommended, as they tend to be quieter due to being further away from the street noise on J Street. Additionally, rooms on the north side of the hotel may experience some noise from the adjacent buildings, but it's generally less than those on the south side, which faces the street.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms ending in 01 to 06, which face the pool or the side alley near the service lift and ice machine.
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-3), especially those near the street-facing windows, as they may be more prone to noise from cars, pedestrians, and nearby bars.
