small roomlack of soundproofing
The room felt a bit like a shoebox. Honestly, i've seen bigger closets. and don't even get me started on the noise, it sounded like a herd of elephants was tap-dancing on the ceiling all night. plus, finding a free power outlet was like searching for a unicorn. They were rarer than a polite tourist.
