Why buildings should not be built in days

The soundproofing in this place is just horrible. It's 9:17pm, and we can hear people in the halls, we can hear kids in the pool, we can hear footsteps on the ceiling. We can hear kids running in the hall, even yelling in the hall. God, i can only hope that i never become a parent like that. I don't care if you are vacation, it doesn't mean your kids can be loud and obnoxious in the hallways past 9pm. My young kids go to bed by 830. They are absolutely exhausted, and need their sleep, and the only thing we can do is hope that the noise does not wake them up.

And as for the title of this post : we found out today that this was one of those buildings... one day it's not there, the next : Poof : it's there. Built very quickly, so maybe they just missed a step - like insulation. ;)

We arrived home from the lake and were only expecting a phone message. It is a real treat as we read the posts for the third time. I guess you have gone from one of the best suite hotels to one of the not so best in one foul sweep.
worst case...you'll get used to it. Keep up sharing the journey, it is tremendously appreciated

not sure if you are still looking for a place hotel, but Hillview Terrance may be a good option. It was an apartment building, and some of the apartments were converted into suites. They are full size apartments, one, two and I think three bedrooms. It's located on Torday Road, about 5 km from where you are staying now. The phone number is 709-754-9822. Hope you enjoy your time here in Newfoundland.
