The music played in the water park was very loud during the day, but it sounded like the speakers were directly under our room so that would probably be why.

My only suggestions ate to have a few designated places that smokers can sit at so they are not in the way of other guests, and to have some handicapped accessible parking by all entrances to the hotel
