dated bathroompoor soundproofing
The bathroom looked tired, honestly. the noise from other rooms was pretty bad. I don't think anyone was being loud, but the soundproofing really needs improvement, that's for sure. it disrupted my sleep a bit, and i didn't like that.

the staff were so kind. breakfast was a delight. it began the day wonderfully. the location was perfect, close to all i wanted to see.
The room felt quite small, like a little box. And the bathroom was equally compact. the parking was a real challenge, such a tight space. It caused some stress. i struggled a bit with that
