I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were truly outstanding; the bed was wonderful, clean, nicely decorated, and extremely inviting. However, there was a loud humming noise apparently from an AC unit that was annoying. The hotel was beautiful, though.

However, there was a loud humming noise, apparently from an AC unit, that was annoying and disruptive.
