underwhelming stay

free coffeethin wallbanging door
The staff was friendly. They offered free coffee and water.
The room lacked proper cleaning. It wasn't terribly well cleaned when we arrived. banging doors made a lot of noise and disturbed us. the walls seemed thin and we could hear other guests.
