The stay didn’t go as smooth as I expected. Was bugged twice by a call on the room phone to speak slowly even when after the 2nd call we stayed as silent as we could. There were no songs being played, just some friends sitting and talking. Would never think of staying there again. Couldn’t have been more silent than we already were.
