I usually listen to white noise when sleeping, but this was so loud that it would wake me up. There’s also a lot of noise from outside my door. At around 09:00, I would start to hear vacuuming, people chatting in the hallway, doors slamming, and water bottles clanging from outside my room door. I was surprised by how poorly the doors isolated sound! This issue itself would prevent me from coming back.
I moved from a balcony to a non-balcony room and it improved things quite a bit (it was literally the room next door on the 18th floor, so it wasn't about room location), albeit there was still some noise. Technically a downgrade but in reality an upgrade here. I would definitely recommend avoiding the balcony rooms on the park side - the balcony doors have terrible sound isolation.
