Creator's Key Takeaways
These are not overly popular rooms for a couple of reasons. Number one, they're the smallest on board.
They're the first ones near the lobby. And a lot of times when people are coming out of the lounge at night, they might kind of congregate here for a few minutes.
So these rooms can get a little bit extra noise.
Typically all my clients stay in the category seven suites, which are all the ones from here back.
