Acceptable, but walls are THIN

thin wallsinconsistent air conditioning
The walls were surprisingly thin. I could hear EVERYTHING from the hallway and adjacent rooms. Loud guests returned late at night, and it was difficult to sleep because of the noise. The air conditioning was also inconsistent, sometimes failing to cool the room properly, a total DISAPPOINTMENT. I didn't sleep well .
