adequate stay with some drawbacks

noise levellow water pressure

The noise really bothered me. i could hear everything from the adjacent room. a connecting door might have been the cause, i am not sure. it disrupted my sleep because i could clearly hear conversations next door. It was like they were in my room. the shower also had very low pressure. Just a trickle of water came out.
