    No sleep. Hidden fees.

    If you are put in a room on the west-facing side of the building, you will be overlooking a parking lot. That parking lot also services at least two nightclubs. These clubs play thumping, bass-heavy tunes which vibrate through your windows and into your room...More

    As long as you are on the port side, there is no noise at all from the clubs. The Clubs are just opposite the main entrace in front of Bank Of China. So just make sure your room is on the port side.

    I'm not sure. They do have a family suite but not sure how many it holds, but I'm sure they also have connecting rooms. I would suggest emailing the hotel directly to inquire.
