Nice looking hotel but noisy on first floor

It is important to me that the room is quiet so that I can sleep, so the combination of tile floors and close proximity to the lobby made for a sleepless night. Every sound echoed into the room. Every car that arrived could be heard along with their conversations. On the positive side, we asked to move to another floor for the next night, and they very helpful. It's a beautiful location, but I don't recommend the ground floor. In my opinion, those areas should not be guest rooms.

A nice stay

Considering the price and the location and the general ambiance this is a nice stay. My only "complaint" might be that it is a bit noisy around the pool area in the evening and when they show movies but this ends at a fair time.
