Very noisy

The walls seem to be paper thin. Our double doors faced the pool. The major problem was the roudy crowd practicing their singing until almost midnight. Was about to create havoc when knocking was heard & the choir ended. Not much rest. Dissapointing, since the room was tastefull and clean
