great choice of foodsbreakfast choiceloud floor

The breakfast had many options to choose from. I also swam in the pool both days.

I was frustrated by the room. The floor creaked loudly whenever anyone walked above, and I could hear it at 5 AM. It disrupted my sleep. Soundproofing or better flooring would help.
