i occasionally heard some noise from neighboring rooms even though i had booked a soundproofed room it was a minor issue.

A Decent Stay with Some Noise Issues

polite staffpoor soundproofingnoisy neighbors
The staff was polite (I must admit).
The soundproofing in my room was apparently just for show. I heard my neighbors' television, conversations, and even their snoring throughout the night. It was not the relaxing experience I had envisioned. Maybe earplugs should be included as a complimentary amenity next time.
