average stay, some disappointments

poor soundproofingbathroom hairs
the bathroom cleanliness was NOT ideal. i found some hairs in the shower and around the sink. it made me question the overall hygiene. ALSO, the soundproofing was pretty poor. i could hear conversations from the room next door, frustrating when trying to relax.
