innkeeping: Soundproofing/Caretaking



Hi all - I'm a new innkeeper.  I just opened our Inn last fall after a 4 
year
complete rennovation of a beautiful Victorian in the Northern Catskills of
NY.  So far, the only complaint I've received is one of sound (between
certain rooms).  My husband and I insulated between all the rooms and 
thought
that would be adaquate...not. Any suggestions?  We are on the verge of
putting up new walls (over the "old"new walls) and using the sound baffles
channels in between.  I'd hate to go to all that effort and expense and 
have
it not work.  What works for other folks out there?  Since my number of
complaints is minor (maybe a dozen out of a couple hundred guests) should 
I
just do nothing even though I know it's a significant problem?  Any 
feedback
would be appreciated.

As a separate issue.. I was wondering how others may suggest getting a
reliable resident caretaker.  We (my husband,daughter and myself) have a
house about 5 minutes from the Inn.  We stay at the Inn when we have
reservations (ie weekends) otherwise I lock up in the late afternoon and 
go
home.  We have always planned on getting someone to stay there in the
evenings in exchange for a free apartment( no salary/no chores - just be
there for drop ins, night problems, etc.).  I have put out "feelers" in 
the
community for such a person/couple but so far, the right person hasn't 
fallen
out of the sky.  Any advice?
