adequate stay with some disappointments

convenient locationpoor insulationsignificant gap

the location was quite convenient.

The room lacked proper sound insulation. I could clearly hear wind noises. a significant gap under the door to the hallway allowed every sound to filter in. these issues significantly impacted sleep quality.
