"Our room overlooked the restaurant terrace and in order to get any air we had to open the windows...then we heard everyone's conversations until 11 pm. Not a restful night! Plus in the morning when we went to have our complimentary breakfast the wait staff was a bit surly! Unless I had a dog, I wouldn't stay there again!"
